This is a loader for data from Google Spreadsheets. The constructor takes an optional map * to indicate which columns contain which data elements; the default column * names (case-insensitive) are: title, description, start, end, lat, lon
* *See http://code.google.com/apis/spreadsheets/docs/2.0/reference.html#gsx_reference * for details on how spreadsheet column ids are derived. Note that date fields * must be in yyyy-mm-dd format - you may need to set the cell format as "plain text" * in the spreadsheet (Google's automatic date formatting won't work).
* *The loader takes either a full URL, minus the JSONP callback function, or * just the spreadsheet key. Note that the spreadsheet must be published.
