2.3. Additional info

c. Import GeoRSS

geoRSS method takes url/file-name as parameter. When executed it downloads the file through AJAX call from the local server, creates markers for each entry on the map and when marker is clicked, it opens an info popup displaying the contents.
e.g. map.geoRSS(url);

You can change the default size of popup by using infoPopupSize method;
e.g. map.infoPopupSize = [400,200];

To check the format, an example of georss file can be found here.
