Location Map, Point of Interest Module. This module allows editors to easily add the common “Point of Interest (POI)” functionality to any page. The module displays a background image with some “pinpoints” defined in Sitecore, but dynamically using Sitecore Experience Accelerator (SxA) in order to allow the editor to preview the results in real time.

As a bonus, Hedgehog is sponsoring prizes for this year's Hackathon. Category winners will each receive free licenses for Razl 4.
Here is the message from Hedgehog, kept verbatim:
Compare & Merge Sitecore Databases at High Speed with Razl 4.0
The latest version of Razl stays true to its core function: it allows developers to have a complete side by side comparison between two Sitecore databases. Helping our users get their work done faster is always our goal, so we've added performance improvements and streamlined workflow including:
- Multi-threaded copy offers a huge time savings in moving items between servers.
- Custom field specific editor controls for editing/comparing multi-list fields, link fields, and Presentation Details.
- Toolbar search function allows developers to use the internal Sitecore search to find items, searching both servers simultaneously and displaying the result in the Deep Compare area.
- Improved multi-selection of items makes the tool much easier to use and improves the experience with Deep Compare.
No purchase necessary. Must 21 years or older at time of entry.
