The sample data provided with my 1.0 release of GMaps PHP had a mistake in the config file which rendered the sample useless.
I’ve fixed this and also added a <comment> tag to the XML data file that will be shown at the locations. A full valid point in the XML file now looks like this:
<point> <lat>-34.01715</lat> <long>23.07238</long> <type>visit</type> <title>Knysna</title> <country>South Africa</country> <comment>Holiday during school years</comment> </point>
The new version can be found here, full documentation including these changes can be found here.
Thanks to BJE for pointing this out.
