 * Hi
 * I have just activated this plugin, created a page, added the map. But when I 
   save the page and view it, there is no map. It just shows the text. When I inspected
   the page with FireBug, it didn’t show the map tags at all.
 * Any ideas?

 * Hi
 * double check that your are using the .com version of google maps. I’ve been scratching
   my head over why this plug in has stopped working for the last few days.
 * It seems that previously I was using google.com maps and everthing worked great
   but then I switched over to google.co.uk version of my accounts and then I could
   not use this plug in.
 * It looks like regional versions of google maps – extra bits of code are inserted
   int othe link that the plug in can not handle – do not work with this plug in
   so just use the google.com version.

 * Just posted version 1.5 that should work with regional implementations of maps.
   google.

 * I have just activated version 1.5 of the plugin, with WP 3.0.1, and cannot get
   it to work properly.
 * No matter what I enter for the map info, it comes up with the Google Maps home
   page, with the wide map of the U.S. This happens even if I use the example URL
   given in the screen shots. It never presents the zoomed in map.
 * Where should the map info come from? Just copy from the URL window in my browser?
   Because it doesn’t contain nearly all the info in the example.

 * I noticed today that links using google.com/maps do not work, but using maps.
   google.com works just fine.
 * Hope this helps.

 * tejasca,
 * I’ve found that the best way to get the most precise map is to:
    - Set the map up the way you want it on maps.google.com
    - Then go to the right top corner of the map and you’ll see a link called ‘Link’.
      Click it.
    - Copy the link as it is under ‘Paste link in email or IM’ and paste that into
      the Google Maps Embed plugin.
 * Hope this helps 😉
 * Smile,
    Juliette

 * Good morning Juliette,
 * It’s a great plugin in terms of ease of use but I have one small issue. When 
   I view the map, it doesn’t centre on the route that I have drawn. Is there any
   way to zoom the map?
 * Thanks,
 * Dave

 * Not working for me on 3.04, for some reason it’s not picking up the shortcode,
   so it’s just printing it instead:
 * `[cetsEmbedGmap src=http://maps.google.com/maps?oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF8&q=31+Race+Lane
   +East+Hampton,+New+York+11937&fb=1&gl=us&ll=40.9636,-72.195722&spn=0.006011,0.013894&
   z=17&iwloc=A width=350 height=425 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 frameborder=0

 * Sorry, I was using the pagely multiedit plugin which didn’t process shortcodes
   properly.
 * I followed the advice here and it worked:
