The rss_googlemap_stats plugin displays recent visitors to your site on a Google Map along with a chart of recent visitors below. Here’s how the plugin works:

1. The last x distinct IP Addresses written to the TXP log table are queried (25 by default)
2. The physical location of the IPs are looked up using an IP Address Lookup service and results are cached locally using a PHP function written by Carlos Averett
3. If the location is found, the coordinates are added to the Google Map display using the Phoogle Maps PHP class
