I've added a help link for all of the dfmaps pages. Its populated via a constant string defined in the dfmaps language file. What stuff would you like to see in it? Here's what I have so far:

PHP:
define ('_DFMAPS_HELP','</center>

<h2>Navigating The Maps</h2>

Moving around Google maps can be done via the mouse, keyboard or the built in controls on the map. Using the mouse, drag the map to center it where you want and use the mousewheel to zoom in or out. With your keyboard, the cursor keys move the map up, down and side to side while the +/- keys provide zoom in and out controls respectively. Each map also has built in controls in the upper left. Using your mouse simply click the appropriate icon to move, center or zoom the map.

<h2>Adding A Location</h2>

<p>Locations can be added in 3 different ways: with your mouse, using the address entry box or via the Manual Location Entry Page. Using the mouse, navigate to the point that you would like to add a location. Next, simply click the map at your location. A window will pop up prompting you for the information pertaining to your new location. Simply enter the info and click the button to submit it. If you decide that you do not want to add the location, simply click the "x" icon in the upper right of the window.</p>

<p>Each map allows you to enter a location by typing in its location/address in the address entry box. Here are some examples of allowable syntax:</p>

<i>Cranbourne North, Victoria, Australia<br />
-34.73277,150.955<br />
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington DC<br />
Kansas City<br />
Astrodome, Houston, Texas<br />
</i>

<p>If Google recognizes the address you supplied, the map will move/zoom to the location and a window will pop up prompting you to enter the info for the location. At this point the same instructions as described above apply.</p>
<center>'
);


If you provide stuff you'd like to see, you can see it here and it'll be in the download.
