We managed to release the much awaited Advanced Mapping add-on which has a number of really excellent usability tools added in the new 2.0 version. When enabled your visitors can select from different display tabs.
Maps now have tabbed options showing satellite, transit, bike and comparable tab. Add the shortcode in your posts and pages and select your shortcode options much more easily with the pop-over options.
Users can now select satellite and street view the listings which looks really great combined with the new tabs showing bike routes, transport maps and comparable listings. Once critical issues have been corrected we will be able to work on videos showcasing the new features in more detail.

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I would like to know more about the Advanced Mapping.
Firstly, is this applicable for all over the world? Is the map the latest updated?
Secondly, What is the basic information will be shown on the map itself? (Before we put in any icons)
Thirdly, If we engage the developer bundle, shall we plug them in once when we develop the site or we could be able to add in few by few regarding our progress? Kindly advice more on this.
Thank you very much!
Regards
Yes the Advanced Mapping extension is applicable for all over the world as it uses the Google Maps API v3 to generate the transport and bike routes.
The info in the map on the single listings shows the additional tabs. On the big map the shortcode provides several view options.

And you can activate the developer bundle extensions as you need them.
