Functionality
Even before reading the documentation I had a semi-functioning map on my site. After reading the documentation it is quite well functioning.
Ease of use
I have been using K2 with three K2-specific (commercial) plugins to achieve a much less elegant solution than Hotspots alone provides.
Support
Daniel, besides being a genius, found a problem that was actually not something I did wrong, and fixed it overnight with no complaints.
Documentation
Excellent. Not too long and not too short. If you don't understand it, just put up a ticket and you get speedy answers and explanation.
Value for money
Since this one plugin is all that has to be updated, for me it means only one fee has to be paid instead of three. I think it is a bargain.
I used this to: Showing sites related to fiber arts in Maine that are open to visitors. This one plugin does more than three others I was using combined. But it also allowed me to import and link back to the tedious work I have already done using K2 for the past four years. Full screen map!
Functionality
User friendly, this component is perfect to use when you need to mark a map with many stores, businesses etc
Ease of use
Very simple to use
Support
The support is FAST and friendly, Perfect support

Very good
I used this to: Plot map with many dealers

Best Pratices

Functionality
When you want to create a store finder or an event finder this extension seems te be all you need. I have tested every other extension.
Ease of use
The back-end of this component give you a nice overview of all functionality.

Value for money
I think the price is very high for a component. Especially when i look at what other extensions in this price range have to offer.
I used this to: Several website. On one site we have created a store locator on another site we have created an event locator. I like the look and feel of this component as well on the front-end as on the back-end.

Great

The program allows you to set up a list of categories and then add locations to the categories on a map.
Ease of use
Excellent, easy to set up out of the box.
Support
Daniel and Yves have been there for me. When I asked for a new feature, Daniel explained to me a system that would let me do that right now
Documentation
This was fine for the broader view, but not so good on the really fine details. But that's what Support is for!
Value for money
I am quite pleased with the value received for the price paid. Money well spent.
I used this to: a tourism website showing all the places to visit in South Central Tennessee, where the events are (Matukio) and the members' locations. The ultimate goal is to allow the reader to be able to visually plan their next trip to our part of Tennessee, right places, right time.
