 * It would be nice if the Editor role was able to manage locations. Right now you
   have to be an Admin to manage locations and I never give clients Admin accounts
   as it shows them way more than they need and they can actually mess things up.
   I can use a user role editor to allow Editors the “manage_options” capability
   but then they also see the settings menu and other plugin menus (like ACF) which
   I’d rather they don’t see.

 * The 2.0 version will come with a ‘Store Locator Manager’ role that is only capable
   of managing stores, it doesn’t have access to the settings page.
 * If you want to I can email you the beta? It is feature complete, I have to clean
   up the code, do more bug testing and writing proper documentation before I will
   release it.
 * But as far as I know it all works fine. So if you want to test it, you can email
   me at info at tijmensmit.com. I will however be gone for three days, so based
   on if / when you email me you might have to wait a few days before I respond.

 * Hi Tijmen,
    actually I do need to enable Editors to manage the Store Locator 
   so I need this improvement as well. When will the version 2.0 be released? Or
   can i modify any actual files of plugin version 1.2.24 to get it?
 * Thanks and regards.
