BB Code Enhancements - Interactive Google Maps In Post

No Google Maps API key, no mod install, no template edits, etc. This is based off YBMF's mod for 4.0, but a bit easier for the end user. Instead of the user having to input the full Google Maps link, just the address, name of business, etc is acceptable.

Admin CP --> Custom BB Codes --> Add New BB Code

I made a few adjustments to this BB Code mod specifically for you (and anyone else who might need it):

Nice! Works pretty good too.

As it happens, Google Maps is still showing old road names around here. Can this be made to work with Mapquest or Bing/explore?

Very nice mod! Nominated and installed.

I don't suppose there is a way to get this to show up in the "Visitors Message" reply in the User Profile area?

Thanks in advance.
