- Has the ability to bypass geocoding if importing coordinates -- makes for quicker imports if coordinates are already known
- Has an import status bar (nice for longer imports).
- Like the original, you still can conveniently associate the imported data with the proper columns to your Store Locator fields during the import process.
- Works with importing from custom fields created that you may have created with the Custom Field Manager or by other addons
