and a few others

- geoRSS

The following geoRSS tag are supported:
geo:lat
geo:long
georss:point
georss:line

(note that pubdate ,title and description are displayed)

- Others XML variant

As I’ve made a lot of interconnection with various XML providers, there are much more tags supported, a few of them:
address  : the address of the point
tel         : telphone number (usefull, as you have the ability to call this number directly)
photoUrl

So it’s already an impressive list, that can help you to create or use some cool mashup.

Also, as a new features, if the description contains an img reference, this description is displayed as an icon,like this:

And remember, as you have the ability to load KML created by Google MyMaps, you just can load them directly, like this one:

Another example, with different markers:
