Hey folks,

On friday I released my new plugin, jQuery Google Maps Application.  I
decided that name was a bit to long-winded, and I didn't want Google
coming back and asking for their name to be removed at a later date -
so I have reduced the name down to jQuery Maps.  It also has a new
Google Code page:

http://code.google.com/p/jmaps/

However, the name was the only thing that was downgraded!  In this new
release (1.1) I have added lots of new functionality which you can see
in action here:  http://webrocket.ulmb.com/dev/ (again, excuse the
popups on the page)

Here is my changelog:

Changed name to remove Google from main name - namespace now .jmap.
Added additional options:
        + Add map dragging enable/disable.
        + Add scroll wheel zooming.
        + Add smooth continuous zooming (on certain browsers).
        + Added clean unloading of Google objects.
Added .addPoly method.  Allows the creation of polylines on the map.
Added .addKml support for rendering KML Files.
Added .directions Driving Direction support.

So what does this mean.  Well now instead of $().gmapp() you use
$().jmap() to initialize the plugin.  You can now pass in 3 extra
options to enable Mouse Wheel zoom.

.addPoly renders a GPolyline array to the map.
.addKml renders a passed KML file to the map (Limit 1mb or 100 points)
.directions renders driving directions to the map (i.e. from:
Edinburgh to: Glasgow).

You can download it directly:

Again, any comments, suggestions, bugs, etc are more than welcome.
