 * Hi I downloaded your plugin but I don’t seem to be able to create multiple markers.
   I have read your post using Viking and exporting as a .klm file but when I try
   to export the layer I get a message that says “The filename you requested could
   not be opened for writing.”. Could you help me please?
 * Thank you,
 * Jonathan

 * Hi Jonathan,
 *  there is no support for Viking here. If you have just a few marker and Viking
   does not work for you, you can also create this files with a simple texteditor.
   
   You can use KML files or GPX files. Eg open this files and modify it to your 
   needs by any texteditor:

 * Okay thank you but can they have labels/text when you hover over them or click
   on each marker. This is for a private geocaching adventure for a client.
 * Thanks,

 * Hi again,
 * I have uploaded the file you provided to test it and used the shortcode and I
   am finding it very confusing. I have uploaded both .kml and .gpx files and used
   the shortcode and nothing is showing up.
 * Is there something I am missing? I am following the directions in the plugin.
   I am trying to create multiple waypoints with markers and descriptions.
 * The test site is here: [http://jabbragency.net/ia/weareallbeekeepers](http://jabbragency.net/ia/weareallbeekeepers)
   
   This is the shortcode: `[osm_map lat="39.259" lon="-74.832" zoom="2" width="100%"
   height="450" gpx_file="http://jabbragency.net/ia/weareallbeekeepers/wp-content/
   uploads/test2.gpx" gpx_colour="green" map_border="thin solid green" control="
   scaleline,mouseposition" theme="ol_orange"]` I don’t want a route but just waypoints.
   Thanks
