BB Code - Google Maps Coordinates

[svit]

It would be very useful for my site to have an icon of a BB code inserting GPS coordinates into a post which would convert it into a map (iframe). If seen this plugin some time ago but I couldn't fine any for the most recent version. Would anyone know if it exists? If not this would be my Feedback/proposal  for new feature.

One of these might help:

Thank you but it doesn't actually do what I meant, Member Map doesn't allow that, and Google Doc Embed doesn't seem to either.

This perhaps? http://ckeditor.com/addon/locationmap

hello Andy and thank you, this plugin however requires entering coordinates, which is not ideal. I remember there used to be a bbcode at times, where we would enter http:/maps.google.com/..... and the map would be loaded in the post... similarly to what we have for youtube now.. I am surprised this is not currently possible?

You don't need a bbcode for that... Just paste the link in the post and the map will appear.

Yes, this is a built in feature now. Just paste the link from Google.
