I have been trying to create a GeoRSS template that pulls in custom fields from a weblog. I have been testing it on google maps site and so far I have been having not much luck. It throws multiple syntax error warnings.

I know the general xml code is good because I entered some static info between the xml tags and it displayed properly. I just can’t seem to get the dymanic content in there.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Matt

Current code in my rss template:
```
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss">
<channel>
{exp:rss:feed weblog="maps_test"}
<item>
 <title>{title}</title>
 <link>{url_title}</link>
 <description>{caption}</description>
 <georss:point>{maps_longitude_field}{maps_latitude_field}</georss:point>
</item>
</channel> 
{/exp:rss:feed}
</rss>
```

Well, I kind of figured it out and this seems to work (although my markers are slightly off on google’s map):

{exp:rss:feed weblog="maps_test" rdf="off" dynamic_start="on" disable="member_data|trackbacks"}
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss">
<channel>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="maps_test" limit="10" rdf="off" dynamic_start="on" disable="member_data|trackbacks"}
<item>
 <title>{exp:xml_encode}{title}{/exp:xml_encode}</title>
 <link>http://www.test.com</link>
 <description>Test</description>
 <georss:point>{exp:xml_encode} {maps_longitude_field} {maps_latitude_field} {/exp:xml_encode}</georss:point>
</item>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
</channel> 
</rss>
{/exp:rss:feed}

I am now trying to hook it into the Coollocation tags in the template so it displays on my map.
