 == Usage ==
 The macro knows the following arguments, which can be used in the normal 'key1=value1,key2=value2,...' syntax.
+If a key-less value is given it will be taken as `center` coordinates if it's in the proper format ({float}:{float}) otherwise it's taken as an `address`.
 
- `address` (or no key):: Sets the center of the map to the given address. Please use semi-colons ('`;`') to separate the street, city and country. The value can be surrounded by quotes, e.g. `"Street; City; Country"`.
+ `address`:: Sets the center of the map to the given address. Please use semi-colons ('`;`') to separate the street, city and country. The value can be surrounded by quotes, e.g. `"Street; City; Country"`.
+             If an `address` but no `zoom` value was given an appropriate value will be guessed based on the address accuracy returned by Google.
+             At the moment this isn't very accurate but soon [http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_thread/thread/53c4525e8d01e75d Google might improve] this.
  `center`:: Sets the center of the map to the given coordinates. The format is `{longitude}:{latitude}`.
  `zoom`:: Sets zoom factor. Allowed values are between 0 (whole world) and 19 (single house). Very high zoom values might not be supported by Google Maps for all parts of the world.

  * Markers!
  * Default values in config file for all arguments.
- * Autodetection if first key-less argument is an address or coordinates in order to allow both without key.
  * Maybe merge source with GoogleStaticMapMacro to allow addresses there, too.
  * Argument `static=yes` to render a static map while using GoogleMapMacro format.
