Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
================================

1) Great! How do i make my RSS feed publish lat/long?
Make sure "Enable GeoRSS tags in feeds" is checked in the GeoPress options. Everything else is added for you automatically.

2) How do i insert a map into my content?
A: First enter in a location for your post. After that, insert this text "INSERT_MAP" (without the quotes) where you want the image tag for the map included within your post text while editing the post. A map centered at the post's location & with a star showing the location will appear.
