= Can I add multiple maps to the same post? =

Yes!  But make sure you use the "id" parameter to create unique id's for each map.

Ex: 
[map id="map1" address="New York, USA"]
[map id="map2" address="Los Angeles, USA"]

= Can I change the size of the map? =
Yes!  Just add your own width and height parameters (the default is 400x300).

Ex:
[map w="200" h="100"]

= Can you add KML's? =
Yes!  Just provide the url link to the KML file.  The map will auto center and zoom to the extent of your KML.

Ex:
[map kml="http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ggeoxml/cta.kml"]

= What about adding Google MyMaps? =
Yes!  To do so, follow the instructions on this tutorial:
