Update to Store Locator Project

Fixed a rookie JavaScript bug in my open source Store Locator project after learning real companies were quietly using it in production.

I had a real rookie JavaScript mistake in my Store Locator project that was causing some people some grief. I had no idea this project was actually being used by many people for real live stores and companies. That’s kind of cool (until it breaks).

Anyway, something changed (somewhere – probably the Google Maps API) and people had issues with the map showing up when it shouldn’t have. Oops.

Anyway, I just fixed it and posted a new release to CodePlex. Get it here.
