Recent News and updates about jQuery Simple Map plugin.

It's been a while.

- What can I say. I got busy in life.

It’s been a while since I updated this, but it still works pretty well! Plans for this plugin are uncertain. The “in” thing right now isn’t jQuery, but I do still love it.

Anyways, plans for this are to refactor everything. Move the CSS to SCSS. Move the JS to something build-worthy. Add the ability to add an array of locations. All will coming with a major update.

Until then, make sure to be kind. Love ya’ll.

What's to come for the next release.

- What to expect in the next version of the jQuery Simple Map plugin.

The Simple Map jQuery plugin is meant to be easy, fast, and sustainable. Currently, it is a bare bones release, with just the essentials to get you started.

Plans for the plugin are as follows:

  • Include ability to bypass geocoding and provide coordinates directly
  • More overlay options (requires CSS)
  • SCSS source for siimpler overlay styling and theming
  • Multiple locations (coordinate mode only)
  • General code improvement.
  • General naming improvement.
