Now let´s get to the highlight of pro v1.5.1:
leaflet.js v0.7.1 fixes 7 bugs, especially for older Android mobiles. See detailed changelog for more information.
As requested by some user, I added the feature to duplicate marker maps. This can be done in the list of markers (bulk action is also possible):
Duplicating markers is also possible on the markers edit page by the new button “duplicate” at the bottom:
By default, Google Maps API allows 2.500 geocoding requests per day and IP. Google Maps API for Business in contrast allows up to 100.000 geocoding requests per day. Within the importer you can now also configure your Google Maps API for business account:

If you want to contribute to translations (Thai would be great 😉 ), please visit http://translate.mapsmarker.com/projects/lmm for more information. Please note that translators are also compensated for their contribution – for example if a translation is finished less than 50%, the translator gets a free 25 licenses pack worth €199 as a compensation for completing the translation to 100%.
A great sideffect from fixing the Google ads bug for layer maps was that I found a way to integrate Google Street View within the map 🙂 So filtering of layers will be postponed to v1.7 and focus of v1.6 development will be the integration of Google Street View.
Please also see the roadmap for a rough schedule for planned features and please subscribe to this blog (via RSS or Email) or follow @MapsMarker on twitter (= most current updates) if you want to stay up to date with the latest development news.
