GeoContacts WordPress Plugin

GeoContacts provides the sort of formatting I'm looking for in a WordPress business directory and I'm hoping I can adapt it for my uses.

As you can see, the end result for each entry is quite attractive and entries can be displayed singly or as a group in a post or on a page.

To download the plugin, go here: WordPress › GeoContacts WordPress Plugins

I'd like to see the ability to enter a location not just by address but by geo-coordinates (so it could be used for off-road mapping, geocaches). I'd also like to see the Name as a single entry in the form. That way organiztions or business names can also be clickable.
One last feature is I'd like to see the email obfuscated and the phone number Skype enabled.

Unfortunately, the author isn't updating the plugin any longer..

Ah, I see working with it a bit that you can get very creative.. the Notes section of the form allows the inclusion of HTML meaning you can include photos, links, etc. I was also able to see that all fields are not required and they don't check the entry so you can actually put pretty much whatever you like in them.

Wanna play with it to see how useful it might be for geocache indexing..
