4.) Add your GmapsKey to the site.ini under [SiteSettings] like so: GMapsKey=<Long string of characters from Google>
You need to go to google maps api website ( http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html ) and generate your key, if you has a localhost site, you enter "http://localhost" as your site address, or if it's a network computer, you enter the network computer name: "http://computer2"
So, google will generate your api key, and you will have to change your ini settings.
I think this extension needs some upgrade because version 3 of google maps api doesn't need an api key anymore.
Thank you for your reply's, I really appreciate it.
I have gotten the map to display and understand how to edit it, etc. which is great. But now i'm trying to override the template's for the map so i can customise it, This is what i've got:
Not sure how override's work when it come to extensions.

Hi
I thought again about your problem and it should be an extension priority problem. the template of ez gmap extension has higher priority then your template extension, you could try change the order of the extensions in the settings/override/site.ini.append.php settings.
I played around with those files, compied the override code you gave me and changed the names of the attribute and class names to my own and it worked. From there i said i'd do the reverse to see where the problem lay, so i took a part away and reloaded the page and repeated this but could not find the reason, It works with what i had previously.
I have a bad feeling there was a typo in there.
Anyway, it works!
Thanks for all your help
Cheers
