 * Tijmen,
 * Two questions:
 * 1) On loading on a page in WordPress, the default search criteria fill the search
   fields; however, the map rendered shows results outside of that area. For instance,
   the default search area is set to 100 miles, yet the map shows store locations
   200 miles away.
 * I am not unhappy with that result (in fact, I prefer it in my case), but rather
   I am curious to know if the initial rendering of the map shows all locations 
   within the zoom level, or if it, in fact, should simply show those locations 
   within the default radius.
 * If the former, what is the point of having the search fields autofill with a 
   values, if they aren’t actually being used?
 * 2) Just curious if you have a release date in mind for version 2.0 and for the
   premium version as well. I have decided to wait on your solution instead of picking
   a competitor as my needs aren’t too time-sensitive at this point; however, I 
   am eagerly awaiting the updates to complete the work on my site. I understand
   you are busy with other projects. Just curious and hopeful.
 * TIA…

 * If “Load all stores on page load:” is enabled on the settings page, then it will
   load everything the first time the page loads, ignoring the filter values. Only
   when a user searches for location x is the distance/radius limit used.
 * But maybe it’s a good idea to make it an option to either load 100% of the stores
   and ignore the distance/radius values. Or only load the stores on page load that
   fall within the distance/radius.
 * I’m a little bit behind on version 2.0. There are a few big issues I still have
   to solve. Add WPML support ( maybe it’s easy just haven’t looked into it ), fix
   the output on the custom post type pages ( the data is there but it’s a bit messy)
   and add more shortcode options. And there are several smaller issues that need
   to be resolved as well.
 * The way things are going now it will take at least another week of work for 2.0
   to be ready, but I just can’t predict whether I can work on it for a whole week
   without having to deal with clients.
 * Once 2.0 is ready it will be 3-4 weeks before the premium version is ready. Most
   of the premium features are ready, I just have to adapt them to the 2.0 code.
 * You need custom post types for your project? Which features do you need in the
   premium version?

 * Ah… that makes sense. A choice in the options would be appreciated, but as I 
   said, I am fine with the current implementation for my particular needs. It was
   more a curiosity.
 * As for 2.0 and the premium version, thanks for the feedback. I certainly understand.
   I am eager to send you some money, but I can wait until you have it ready.
 * As for the custom post types, yes. I am most looking forward to being able to
   generate individual pages from the database. I started the process creating pages
   individually, but it became tedious and there are 150+ locations for my market.
 * That said, I know that I will want more data per location than I am currently
   able to put in the records for each location. These are BBQ restaurants in SC.
   In addition to location info, I want to include several other fields: social 
   media pages, review links (Yelp, Urbanspoon, etc.), types of sauces served, etc.
   See [this link](http://www.destination-bbq.com/sc-bbq-trail-restaurants/big-als-old-time-bbq-greenville-sc/)
   for a sample of the pages I was manually creating.
 * Not sure if you can provide options for user-created fields like those above,
   but that would be handy.
 * Also, not sure if it will be possible/practical to modify the pages created by
   your plugin to match my design preferences. That would also be helpful, but if
   I can enter data, output at least skeletons of pages that I can then modify to
   suit my needs, that would be good enough for me.
 * Thanks again.

 * If you can email me at info at tijmensmit.com then I can send you the 2.0 beta
   once I fixed the template output.
 * The upgrade from 1.x to 2.0 will convert all the store locations to custom post
   types, so that should save you some time instead of having to do it manually.
 * There are some filters that allow you to change the meta data for each location,
   but I will explain more about that when I email you the beta.
