 * I’d like to add a navigation bar below the map to allow users to view a list 
   of placemarks based on category selected.
 * Is there a shortcode to achieve this or do I need to set it up manually?
 * I am curious about how i could setup the list by category based of a URL passed
   variable for category. for example, i have a listing of churches, categorized
   by which part of the city they are in. I’d like to list out the regions of the
   city as links, and that go to a page that lists all in that category. I see how
   to setup the list by category, but how can I set that up by what would be a selected
   variable by the user?

 * I think what you’d want to do would be to setup a page template that would call
   the [bgmp-map] or [bgmp-list] shortcode, and pass in the current category.
 * e.g.,
 *     ```
       <?php
       echo do_shortcode( '[bgmp-map category="'. $category .'" '] );
       ?>
       ```

 * No, I think he means a way that we can make the user use it like this: [http://www.noordoostfriesland.nl/wonen/stad_regio.ashx](http://www.noordoostfriesland.nl/wonen/stad_regio.ashx)
 * Is there any way possible to use it like this?
