 * Input address and it defaults to its default address.
 * I know its the crippled version, but if you can’t even show an address, it’s 
   worthless.

 * Hi Jim
 * Please can you be more specific with the address you are trying to use? Hundreds
   of other users are using the plugin without any problems and if this is a real
   bug I would like to get it sorted out so that no one else faces this issue.
 * What address are you using?
    What default address does it default to? Is this
   error appearing in the admin section or on the front end?
 * Kind regards
    Nick

 * Ok. I’ll send you a link to a video so you can see my entire setup and how I 
   am using the plugin.

 * I set up a local WAMP server and a clean site to test the plugin.
 * Maybe I just don’t get how it works. I am definitely missing something here.
 * Please [watch the video](http://www.mediafire.com/?cc233jdajos9k44) and let me
   know what I’m doing wrong.

 * Hi Jim
 * Thank you for the video – very informative on how people use my plugin. This 
   is a simple misunderstanding.
 * It appears that the marker is being added correctly. All that’s left to do is
   move the map using your mouse in the admin section to the USA and zoom into the
   location you want. Adding the marker will simply add the marker to the map but
   you need to tell the plugin where you want to display the map. Once you move 
   the map to your desired location (click the mouse and drag the map to move it)
   then click “Save Map”. I hope those makes sense.
 * Kind regards

 * I just want to add that I had the same issue as jim.hubbard.
 * After reading your response above, it now make sense. I think the confusing thing
   is for those that work with Google Maps on a daily basis when you type in an 
   address we expect the map to center on that new address (marker). That is the
   confusion.
 * I see how it works now, so no problem, maybe some place in the install instructions
   you can put those straight forward instructions you mentioned above.
 * I almost gave up on this Plugin until I found this thread.
