 * Hello,
 * is it posible to get a new function/ parameter that the plugin makes a circle
   arround each point from a KML File. The Radius sould be a parameter for example:
   200meter.
 * I use flexible map for my FireDepartment to Create WhaterMaps. The Circle arround
   a Position helps us to see the distance better.
 * Thanks,
    Christian

 * G’day fire fighter,
 * The easiest way to draw such a map is to start with your own JavaScript code.
   Given a set of marker coordinates and associated titles / descriptions, it’s 
   actually pretty easy to write that in JavaScript.
 * A generic KML map plugin isn’t going to get you what you want easily. The problems
   are that:
 * 1) KML doesn’t support circles
    2) Google Maps API doesn’t let you grab the markers
   from the KML layer
 * However, you can look at adding circles to your KML map using a KML circle generator
   like this one:
 * [http://www.thesamestory.com/kmlcircle/](http://www.thesamestory.com/kmlcircle/)
 * What it does is create a many-sided polygon that **looks** like a circle. You
   need to punch in the coordinates for your markers, generate the KML, and copy
   the LineString elements across to your map’s KML file. A little tedious, but 
   it’ll get you there.
 * One of these days, I’m going to extend this plugin to allow maps to be defined
   in JSON (JavaScript object notation), allowing access to more of the Google Maps
   API widgets like circles. That would let you do this more easily. Possibly it
   could be done with Fusion Tables too; haven’t investigated that yet (although
   a quick google show that maybe you still need to write JavaScript to draw the
   circles for Fusion Tables maps).
 * It’s possible that one of the other Google Maps plugins will allow you to build
   your map in JSON or Fusion Tables, giving you access to circles; maybe you can
   [have a look](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/google-maps) to see what
   they offer.
 * However, I still think you’re best off having someone write a simple custom JavaScript
   map for you; it’s the easiest way to get where you want to go.
 * cheers,
    Ross
