GoogleMapper uses PHP5's OO framework, and while I'd like to tell you that a PHP4-compatible version is coming soon, limited time and resources are keeping me from going after it. If there's anyone out there that would like to take a swing at making a PHP4 version, and would like some info to help get goin' on it, please contact me.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=screenshots-->\n<p>No screenshots yet, I'll work on that...<\/p>\n\n<!--section=other_notes-->\n<h3>More Documentation<\/h3>\n<p>Extended documentation is available from <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.chiggins.com\/?p=35\">my site<\/a>, which discusses the plugin in much greater detail.
