I like the way it's integrated into vbulletin. Very slick. Enhancments will most likely be slow in coming. (hope I'm wrong about that) In it's current form, it's advantages outweigh the things I like about my pin map.
I'm not sure what you mean by "Look at options" But unless you think there is something worth exploring, I'd say put in the vbullethin map.
All of the info for my map is in an excel spreadsheet - flat file format. If having that info will help, let me know.
VB Map Enhancements I'd ask for:
#1 - The popups that come from hovering over a pin are annoying. Clicking on a pin should be adequate. This is one of those if nothing else is fixed kind of enhancments.
#2 - A way for the admin to choose what pin colors are offered to the members. I.E. Paint colors. The current solstice map pin colors being tied to forum status (and I'm sure nobody meant it that way) is well... a form of elitism.
#3 - Exploring the VB map. The VB map page needs to have a names sidebar or some way to search for pins without having to jump to some other page. Being able to get to the VB map from the
map me link or from the member list helps but not if you are already looking at the map.
#4 - The current method of adding a pin is where I was hoping to go. But then I found out that Google was adding a geocode feature. I was testing that
here. But hadn't completed the work yet. Something like that would be a good enhancemnt for the VB map.
Some Opinions (everybody has one 
:
- The initial view needs to be more global.
