CF_GoogleMap 1.4 Released

Well I have to say that I didn't get as much done in the 1.4 release that I would have liked to but I was able to make up enough progress yesterday that I wanted to go ahead and release it. Last minute yesterday I was asked to present the tag at the Denver ColdFusion users group and while I was waiting for my turn to present I was able to add in these features.

(1) Added the showTraffic attribute to the cf_googleMap tag.
(2) Added the showLocalSearch attribute to the cf_googleMap tag.
(3) Added a language attribute to the cf_googleMap tag.
(4) Added the enableZoomScroll to the cf_googleMap tag and defaulted it to true so a use can use their scroll wheel to zoom in and out
(5) Added the enableGE to the cf_googleMap tag and defaulted it to false to enable the Google Earth view of the map.

I also added some MSSQL User Defined Functions in the download as well that will help calculate distances in your data access layer.

The 1.5 version will be out shortly here. I figured out how I want to implement the point sets for various map levels and also figured out how to do the integrated driving directions without breaking the old way of doing driving directions.
