I'm currently working to get multi-line input available on Maps. In the
meantime, if you use Firefox 2, type "about:config" in the location bar. In
the "Filter" field type "singleline." You can set the value to 2 for
editor.singleLine.pasteNewlines, which will allow pasting of multiple lines
to input boxes.
