    I set up the options in the options panel, and created a a href link, but nothing displays. Do I need do anything more in the post.

    My website is at www.motorcycleramblings.com but the map post is not published.

    The most important thing: the Link in the html-source-code has to be on the same line (from <a>).

    Where exactly ist your Google Maps Post...

    I publish it on the post Map Test2 temporarily at http://www.motorcycleramblings.com

    I put some text in the first line just so something show. The next line is

    <a href="http://www.motorcycleramblings.com/gis/Baja 2006 GPS Waypoints.GPX">

    but on one line.

    OK. Don't use white spaces in filenames. Use only lowercase letters (also for .gpx instead of .GPX). Name your link (between the start an end a-tag), like any other link...

    OK, I now get a blank box for the map and a error message telling my the api key is for a different directory. I also get an error message on the post saying javascript must be enabled but I do have it enabled on Firefox.

    Another question. Every time I go back to the options panel the api code field state none and the map size field go back to the default values. Yes I am saving the changes.

    Are you sure, you're using Wordpress 2.3.2? Try to reinstall the plugin. There are some really strange behaviours at your page...

    OK, I upgraded to 232

    The fields now update when saved, but I still get the api error message on the page.

    Sorry for the many questions but I have been waiting a long time for a plugin like this.

    Some of my file name address run across the line in the Wordpress edit box. I cannot shorted the name because of the file directory structure. Does the name have to fit on one line in the edit box or just without a hard line break <br>

    Without a hard line break and also without a carriage return. But if it breaks because of word wrap, it's ok!

    I thought so, but I have one map that is not working. I just get empty space where the map should be and a javascript timeout error.

    It is the first map on this page of my maps

    @jabash:
    Download the latest development version from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/xml-google-maps.zip
    You had an quotation mark in den gpx file (not valid in xml). But I solved it with a small workaround in the plugin!
