Why do you need an XML sitemap for your e-commerce site?
XML sitemap is an easy way to let Google know about publicly available pages of your site. Actually, XML sitemap helps all search engines during the crawling process. When there are thousands of items in your Magento store, it's essential to help Google properly index all product pages.
Meet Google requirements
As soon as Google has specific rules for sitemap creation, you should carefully build your XML sitemap in order to meet all the requirements.
With the Magento Google sitemap extension you'll be able to properly create your XML sitemap:
Hide SID parameters from URLs to save resources of your server and significantly improve your SEO process.
Include necessary links
The XML sitemap Magento tool enables you to add any links to your sitemap as well as exclude unwanted ones.
Available types of links:
Images in the sitemap
Due to clear Google sitemap Magento module you can easily include images in your sitemap. It’s obvious that images can bring you more traffic when Google indexes them. So, why not use this opportunity to bring your store to the top in the search results?
You can add the following images to the XML sitemap:
Moreover you can use templates for image titles, e.g. "enjoy {product_name} from e-store".
Sitemap size
Set maximum number of items per file. Google accepts only up to 50000 URLs per sitemap or a file size of 50MB.
The extension provides helpful settings to meet the above mentioned Google requirements.
Include the date of the last page modification
The extension allows you to specify the date when a product, category or CMS pages were last modified. Why do you need such an option? Because some of your store pages may be already indexed. And this way you help Google to concentrate only on the fresh ones.
Include blog posts into the sitemap
This module is fully compatible with Blog Pro extension. Include links to blog posts and categories into robots.txt file of the website for better indexation; it would also help to drive more traffic to the store with your blog.

General Questions
I do appreciate the developer included the option for category and product pictures display and I hope this will help to generate more traffic and increase sales.
However, it’s too early to analyze the results, but the addon works as described and I believe I can rely on this vendor. As soon as I notice positive impact I’ll definitely change the review to five stars.
This extension generated my XML sitemap without any error. Of course, you should check it before submitting as it may contain the pages you don't need here. But in general, it's cool.
