How to use the country switcher?

GeotargetingWP includes a basic country switcher that will let you users change their default location using a dropdown. The switcher comes in two versions, a sidebar widget and a shortcode, both with the same options.

• Regions: Instead of displaying all countries it's easier to just show a few of them. You can use regions for that.
