This release is dedicated to Pippin from pippinsplugins.com who wrote the inspiring post “Refinement: the greatly unappreciated aspect of project releases” 🙂
I also believe that in the long run fixing bugs and adding optimizations for existing features is more important than just adding new features – so v1.9.1 includes lots of bugfixes and refinements which you will probably not notice, but which are important for a smooth overall usability – read below for detailed changes.
For even more features and optimizations (see the comparision page), please use the integrated pro upgrader to start a free 30-day-trial of Maps Marker Pro (Pro v1.9.1 has also been released today).

Now let´s get to the highlights of v3.9.3:
The MapsMarker API now also supports accent folding for addresses, which means special chars are better supported when sending an address to Google for fetching gelocation data.
Thanks to many motivated contributors, this release comes with the following updated translations:
