Version 1.0.3 Released with a new Template Token [MapQuest] that will display a link to a map for each location in the search results. 

Tested but not yet released are new features to the module that will make it easy for developers to use the Geo Locator functions in another module as well as additional new options for non-developers who wish to display search results for a specific zip code from a  link.
