Image Cards, New Popup & a Cleaner Panel

What's New

Image Cards Sidebar - Browse locations as cards with a photo, rating, price and address, plus name search and filter pills.
Sidebar for Standard Markers - The sidebar now works with standard markers too, with search and no pills.
New Popup Design - A card with image, close button, category badge, rating stars, price, address, details, description and a button. It opens above the marker and the map moves so the whole popup stays in view.
Compact Card Popup - A second popup layout without the image.
Details Field - Add one detail per line to any location, shown exactly as you type it.
Rating, Price, Address and Image - Every location can now carry these fields.
Import Locations - Paste CSV or JSON to add many locations at once, with categories created from a category column.
Marker Type Switch - Choose Standard or Group markers. They never run together, so the setup is always clear.
Text Styles - Four native font controls (Heading, Body, Info, Button) with line height and letter spacing.
Border Color - One color control for the sidebar pills, the search box and its icon.
Easier Coordinates - Type decimals or degrees and minutes, such as 21° 36' N.

Clearer Control Panel - Reorganised into a simple order: Map, Marker Type, Locations, Sidebar, Popup, Text, Appearance, Clustering, Interactions and Map Styling, with shorter control names.
Live Center and Zoom - Changes in the panel update the map right away.
Bottom Sheet on Small Screens - The sidebar becomes a bottom sheet when the component is narrow.
Popup Settings Together - Popup background and corner radius now sit in the Popup group.
Cluster Bubble Border - The border now matches the cluster text color.
Better Error Message - A clear message appears when Google rejects the API key.
Default Size - The component now arrives with a sensible default size.
Escape Key - Press Escape to close the popup.
New Default Look - Blue accent on white with the Inter font.

Clustering Radius - The radius setting now takes effect. In 1.x it had no effect.
Marker and Sidebar Sync - Clicking a marker in Standard mode now highlights and scrolls to its sidebar card.
Invalid Coordinates - Locations with empty or invalid coordinates are skipped instead of breaking the map.
Safe Links - Unsafe links (such as javascript:) in imported data are blocked.
Static Preview - The preview no longer breaks when there are many locations.

Sidebar Custom Position - The Top and Left offset controls are gone.
Clustering Max Zoom - Now fixed, so there is no option to set.
Old Font Groups - Panel Title Font, Panel Desc Font and Popup Typography are replaced by Text Styles.

Set the four Text Styles once, because old font values are not carried over.
Group maps keep the Category List sidebar by default. Standard maps use Image Cards.
Choose a Marker Type if you used both before.
