The jQuery Location Picker
You know the story. You've built a site for an outlet with lots of stores or perhaps an estate agency with lots of properties, and now the client wants an easy way to add locations to their site. So you send them off to Google Maps, tell them which part of the URL they need and get them to paste it into a Lat/Lng field in your CMS. But then you find out that the Google Search didn't return the exact location of what they were after so you tweak the numbers until its just right.
The problem is that I am just too lazy to explain all that to a client, and all that trail and error with numbers is just too much. So please let me introduce to you my first submission to the jQuery plugins library, the jQuery Location Picker.
