[Plugin: SimpleMap Store Locator] Shortcode Formatting Causes JS Errors

A number of JS errors are being thrown from what looks to be WordPress’s shortcode formatting. A number of </p> tags are being added and some special characters are being changed to their ISO Latin-1 codes. For example, the first ampersand (&) on line 101 in simplemap.php is being changed to & # 0 3 8 ;. This obviously breaks the JS.

Is this a known error and is there something I can do to remove this formatting?

Thanks a lot.
