Subject: Data Sources

Just wanted to run a few things by you guys.

I see the data sources that are supported as follows:

*Google Spreadsheets
*Inline
*Pisica
*JSON Data
*RSS Data

As far as I can see there needs to be Date and Lat/Long info available.

Could an XML document be used? I presume so as RSS can be used.

Could I use the XML that google generates for its calenders (share
calendar)? It has the location field where Lat/Long info could be stored.
Can one field be used to store both of these? would there be a way to place
lat/long info in the description and the extract it? Perhaps with
deliminators?

Is there any other sources that TimeMap can take from? Another source or
service for retrieving the info? Thanks.
