Store values as XML & maptype value

Feature suggestions
Hiya Darren
I only figured out from your datatype value that it stores the long,lat, and the third value was a bit of a mystery until Sebastiaan mentioned it was the zoom level.

The XSLT lover that I am maybe you could store the values as XML and additionally store the maptype that was selected.
```
<map>
  <long>xxxx</long>
  <lat>xxxxx</lat>
  <zoom>15</zoom>
  <maptype>roadmap</maptype>
</map>
```

This would definitely be a better data structure. I did find using Razor it's pretty easy to split them up though using a Split on the ','

Since this package uses the UserControl wrapper with the 4.6 and 4.7 features it should'n't be very hard to store it as xml. Have a look at this blog post: http://www.nibble.be/?p=100

We will be adding an option to the data-type settings to let you save the data as either CSV or XML. The default option will be set to CSV (for legacy compatability reasons).

This is pencilled in for v2.1 ... I haven't started development on it yet ... so no release dates, etc. Unless someone wants to take a stab at it, latest source-code is up on BitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/vertino/google-maps-for-umbraco

Cheers, Lee.
