Completely useless, doesn't work, doesn't even appear to exist. It's useless, and even worse it wasted my time. Which I can't forgive. Jerks.

Doesn't work. No tools available in map maker (after enabling the extension and pinning it to the tool bar). Clicking on toolbar takes you back to this store page. Don't waste your time, move on...
