Search blog content geographically, with results on a map.

I was just going to ask for this and see so many ways I could use this on my map.

Hi,
i'm very interested on this feature. Is there a plan, when it should be implemented?
Thanks

This is another one that will take some time, but I'm optimistic that I'll find a
client willing to fund it. Until then, no milestone.

This is something I'm dying to be able to do on my site.  The Geo Mashup plugin is
amazing by the way; thank you so much!  Unfortunately, I don't have a budget for my
site since I'm working on it myself, so I can't offer you any compensation, but if
enough people are willing to pool some money together to have you take a crack at it,
I would definitely be willing to contribute what I can.

Thanks again Dylan!!

Good to know - thank you. Maybe you can help me lowball a bid for a client willing to
fund most of it. I'll pipe up here if I see any such opportunities.

Thinking about this I realized that you can already get the results of a regular
WordPress search on a map by putting a contextual map in your search results template. 

The obvious need there is a way to correlate to each match with the map - kind of a
general need with contextual maps. My instinct is to use some variation of the Google
A - G markers, with hooks to customize them, and a template tag to insert the
corresponding marker in the post listing.
