Added new BBCode for Google Maps

In a new post or reply, click the map.png button. Then within the MAP tags, type the address you want mapped like 65 South Front Street, Columbus, OH

I figure this might be useful to some people. I'm working on making it more functional, but this is what I have so far.

Would it be possible to integrate the dynamic GMaps API?

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/

That way we could link the dynamic map, movie it around and all that fun jazz.

Example: http://econym.org.uk/gmap/example_wizard.htm

You're never happy are you ?:)

Well I'm trying to find out how this can possibly be used.... take a look at all the maps folks are posting. If you didn't tell anyone the address or Gmaps link it's useless.

Meet me there at 2 pm.

Hey, I can't find 123 main st can anyone help me? Sure here it is

I guess it would be useful if you wanted to point out a spot on a map just for illustrative purposes, but I struggle with how to use this. You can't get directions or really see down on the map as far as you might want for driving.

Dude, NOW we're talking!

It's huge, but it's extremely useful! Thanks for listening!

I'm using 100% width tags. I shrunk it down to 60% which made the size look better, but the map wasn't nearly as functional. It's a lot easier to use at this size.

Awesome new feature!! I've seen some map stuff on other forums, but this is better and will actually be more useful on this type of site. Great job!!
