Recent update includes Package of all needed parts

Geoffrey Schaller (12).
Posted on 23 August 2012

As of the this review (August 2012), this is now a package that includes all of the needed plugins to make this work - the basic Maps plugin, the Directions plugin, and the To Here plugin, all in one. Previously, you needed to install them separately, now they are combined into one package. The only drawback is that this is confusing if installing it over the old ones...

The plugin itself works great, and does everything it says without issue.
