    Hi,
    I'm having a bit of trouble finding out how to put a KML overlay
    using a Wordpress Map plugin. The plugin is this one using Google Maps;
    http://wphostreviews.com/mappress
    I've tried contacting them about this, but they are ignoring me,
    even though I paid for the Pro version. :mad:

    Anyhow, what I'd like to do is have County Tipperary outlined on the map, and
    then use the plugin's features to have locations marked on the map.
    The map atm looks like this; http://www.hiddentipperary.com/map/ (nothing added yet)
    The KML is located here; http://www.hiddentipperary.com/Tipperary.kml

    I've tried this method of adding a JavaScript code to the WP header file;
    http://bestfromgoogle.blogspot.com/2011/05/google-my-maps-kml-integration-for-your_4609.html
    (btw, there's a couple of errors with the code on lines 5 & 6 - '>' should be '<')
    but I've had no luck with that method.

    Also, on the Mappress forum, someone mentioned another hard-coded method;
    http://wphostreviews.com/forums/topic.php?id=131#post-391
    but I can't locate where in the mappress.min.js file they are refering to.

    Of course, I understand that I could add the county overlay, markers etc using Google Earth,
    and then show them in Google Maps by typing the KML address into it, getting the code and using that,
    but then I'd lose all the advanced features of the MapPress plugin.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. :)
