 * Best maps plugin ever.
 * Is it possible to set a custom field to the map and use it in the shortcode instead
   of the map’s id?
 * Thanks 🙂

 * Custom field is currently not supported – but you can add maps directly by the
   shortcode [mapsmarker lat=”xx” lon=”xx”] without saving them to your database
   first.

 * I’ve only just started using this plugin. I’ve used the shortcode [mapsmarker
   mlat=”1234″ mlon=”5678″], works fine.
 * Are there any other parameters that this shortcode will take? ie, rather than
   creating a map, the shortcode could be inserted into a page template and lookup
   an address field from a form. something like
    – [mapsmarker address1=”## Street,
   Suburb, City” popup=”Description”]

 * only mlat und mlon is accepted as shortcode – I will check if this can be changed,
   but as I remember correctly, there were some issues in the past…

 * I’d really love to see this feature – you’re plugin looks awesome, but I need
   to be able to use a custom field as the address to create the map. Looking forward
   to seeing this feature!
