IP Based Google Map

I love the concept here, but this plugin is not working in the latest version of vanilla. Where do I go from here?

Is it supposed to hide the map on the admin users page? I have a main admin user and a test user and the map only shows on the test users page.

Also, the geolocation is not very accurate (placed me in London, England when I live in Cardiff, Wales) I suppose it's good for showing what part of the world a user is in.

Also a fix for Dreamhost users, or those with allow_url_fopen off in their php.ini file...

Replace

 $file = fopen("$URL","r");
 $r="";
 do {
  $data = fread($file, 8192);
  $r .= $data;
 }
 while(strlen($data) !=0);

with...

 $ch = curl_init();
 $timeout = 5; // set to zero for no timeout
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $URL);
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
 $data = curl_exec($ch);
 curl_close($ch);
 $r="";
 $r .= $data;
