Lindsey sent me an advance copy so I'm sorted. Not quite an answer yet, so I'll leave it open until after the release.

I'm using the Smart Map plugin but want to render my own maps. All I need is the lat/lng of a visitor yet I can't find it in the documentation. I don't want Smart Maps to render the map for me, I just want the lat/lng.

I'm currently using the Geo plugin to do this but it seems a bit silly having both installed.

Smart Map can indeed do this! ~~It's currently an undocumented feature~~, because I wasn't sure if/how it was going to evolve over time. However, that feature has changed very little over the past two years, so perhaps it's time to finally document it. :)

**UPDATE:** As of Smart Map 2.3, this is now a [publicly documented feature](https://plugins.doublesecretagency.com/smart-map/visitor-geolocation/).
