 * As much as I love the functionality of your plugin (I paid for it!), I really
   dislike the user interface. It’s incredibly long and much of it isn’t very clear.
   It would be really to redesign how it works and think about ways to collapse 
   sections, or use tabs, or some other way manage the complexity. Does anyone else
   agree? I’m not a designer, but maybe I could help with some better feedback. 
   Maybe someone else has ideas for how to do the layout better.

 * Hello [@atkulp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atkulp/)
 * Thank you very much for the feedback. The plugin includes the section for global
   settings, and the points or specific settings in the post and pages. Which of
   them do you suggest editing?
 * Best regards.

 * I think that’s part of the problem. The global settings are a bit complicated,
   but the editor for the list of points is complicated too. When editing a post,
   it would be great to be able to collapse it down to hide the Maps Configuration
   section and only show the points. Then, if the user presses a button, you can
   display Maps Configuration, a different button to manage the list of points. 
   There’s also a lot of space taken up by the help text. I love that you have that
   text, but it might be better to use a little (i) indicator with a tooltip instead.
   Especially as the flashing “+ more information” is distracting. Similarly, the
   choice of custom marker could be hidden unless the user clicks “Custom” for marker.
 * If I have some time, I’ll try to throw together some concepts to illustrate better.
   It’s really a great plugin. If the user interface can be streamlined a bit it
   will be even better!
