1. Upload folder 'thydzik-google-map' to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. Under 'Plugins' > 'thydzik Google Map', you will find the 'thydzik Google map setup' page. The default map size can be changed here if desired.
4. Upload a Google map XML data file with latitude and longitude points. An example XML file http://thydzik.com/thydzikGoogleMap/example.xml is included, it is better to create a directory outside the plugin directory as every time you update your xml files will be deleted.
