There are various possibilities to get the coordinates of any place. We recommend using the Geocoder-function which is really easy. Just type the address/zipcode/place name and the country name into the Geocoder field and click on Go!. Afterwards you can drag n drop the Marker to adjust the position. Try the Geocoder at http://www.glotter.com/geocoder and see how easy it is to create a new placemark.

You can add a maximum of 100 markers per entry.

While editing your entry you just have to paste the Picasa Web Album RSS URL - which you find at each of your Picasa Web Albums - into the Picasa-field. Sample URL for a Picasa Web Album:

Copy the YouTube Video URL and paste it into the YouTube-field (Entry/Marker)! Sample URL of a YouTube video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o9OBeq5gnA

A connection is generated "top down" between two markers listed one after another. The position (##) is determined automatically. Just edit your marker and replace the "number" to manually change the marker-position (##).
