Converts links to kml, kmz and gpx files to a google map!

== Description ==

Add your own KML, KMZ or GPX files to your web page. Links to these files will be converted automatically to a Google Maps map.

Simply upload your gpx, kml or kmz file in your blog entry upload form. Make an a-link to the file. Save the entry and here it is - as simple as possible.

To extend or correct the map there are some parameters too:<br>
Include Parameters within the &lt;a&gt; and &lt;/a&gt; tag (&lt;a href=&quot;gpx, kml or kmz url&quot;&gt;Title [Parameters]&lt;/a&gt;) and make sure that the whole url is on the same line.
