Store Locator
Didn't work out of the box; there was a minor programming issue that was relatively easy to fix. Considering that Google provides most of the complex code used in this extension, it seems overvalued. What really gets me though is that Sysgen Media just spammed the PayPal account used to make the purchase. There's an unsubscribe link, but prepare to be added to their mailing list without explicitly subscribing.
Owner's reply

Each purchase of the Store Locator includes a 6 month support subscription so we would be happy to help you with any issues you may have.

We have helped anyone who has contacted us to get their Store Locator working on their site. Can you please let us know what the minor programming issue was so that we may improve our future releases?

You can find our support forums at http://www.sysgenmedia.com/support/forum . We are very helpful with any issues that have come up. We want to ensure all of our customers have a Great experience with our products and encourage you to contact us for any issues you may have.

We feel we are providing a valuable extension by building upon the code that Google has. The administration system was constructed by us to allow users to more easily manage their Locations from Joomla! in conjunction with Google Maps.

We subscribe our users to our mailing list as a courtesy to provide you with updates to our extension and other services. It is easy to unsubscribe if you don't want our updates.

JoomSlide
You have to get down to the plugin parameters before you learn that HighSlide is "not free for commercial use".

So while this plugin may be GPL, installing it makes your site not GPL.

This fact should be made more prominent to avoid wasting time.
