(Is that possible with the current elpa version?) You can set up your own ELPA repo, sure. I think it's better for org-mode to support a generic maps and weather plugin so users can write Google-specific ones (and put them on their own ELPA repos) but don't have to. I was in a similar situation with Google Reader and planned to write an interface to it until the much better gwene.org came along (thanks to Lars) to let me read RSS feeds in a sensible way. Ted
