 * Great plugin.
    Just in case someone faces the encoding problem i had, in order
   to display properly my Greek map name, i needed to alter the encoding for the
   tables that the plugin created in my db. My db has utf8_general_ci collation 
   and the tables that were created were latin_swedish_ci. After that worked like
   a charm !
 * Well done!

 * Thanks a lot! In my next update, I’ll create tables with ‘utf8_general_ci’ encoding.
