 * First of all thank you for this plugin. I think it’s the most useful google maps
   plugin for WordPress.
    I’ve added a couple of vector kml to my basemap. Now I’m
   trying to add a kml that loads a tif overlay. It doesn’t work. Is it possible
   at all? Regards.

 * This plugin uses the Google Maps api to show maps in a browser, and browsers 
   don’t handle TIFF images. You need to convert the TIFF to a PNG (or JPEG) and
   use that in your KML file instead.

 * Still doesn’t work.
    This is my code:
 * <dl title=”googlemap;w:700;h:600″>
    <dt>[Center of map](http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Forli,+Italy&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=44.216171,12.042389&spn=0.089936,0.154324&sll=-23.529592,-46.630096&sspn=0.003595,0.004823&oq=forli,&t=m&hnear=Forli,+Province+of+Forl%C3%AC-Cesena,+Emilia-Romagna,+Italy&z=13)
   </dt> <dt>[sovraimpresso](http://paulvern.kodingen.com/benzdic.kml)</dt>
 * The kml works on google earth. I transformed both to jpg and png but still doesn’t
   show up.

   The map on the bottom should show an overlayed jpg map.

 * Google Maps API doesn’t seem to like the gx:LatLonQuad element. Using the LatLonBox
   element instead, it works:
 *     ```
       <LatLonBox>
           <north>44.2505923908037</north>
           <south>44.1826752080822</south>
           <east>12.1025091657406</east>
           <west>11.978766601043</west>
       </LatLonBox>
       ```
   
 * cheers,
    Ross

 * Thank you. It works now! Sadly I suppose I still can’t have a partially transparent
   png image as in google earth but that is another story…
