This plugin allows you to easily insert Google Map or Google Earth Plugin Maps into your blog. Supports KML, KMZ, GPX, geoRSS filelinks. Supports Default, Satellite, Hybrid, Physical and Google Earth Plugin Maptypes!

== Description ==
This plugin allows you to easily insert Google Map or Google Earth Plugin Maps into your blog. You just have to add a link to your self defined Map from My Google Maps, Picasa Webalbum Picture Map, any geoRSS Feed (like Flickr), your uploaded Google Earth file (kmz, kml) or any other dynamic or static Google Earth file (umapper.com, flickr.com, etc.).
 
Even if you have a GPX-File from your GPS, upload it, link it and it get displayed. For GPX-Tracks you can even display speed, elevation charts (Google Charts API) and a data table with checkpoints (distance, time, average speed, max speed, climb up, climb down).

If your NextGEN Gallery Images are already Geocoded (EXIF), this plugin shows your geocoded images on a map.
 
This plugin supports the Google Earth Plugin maptypes. 

It's easy - try it! Have a look at one of these two pages:
