Turkey Central posted a support article in Forum Support
If you're creating or editing a post and you want to insert a map into it, with a centered marker showing where something is, it's easy. Just click the greenish Google Maps button (with the small "g" on it). That will open a window where you can enter the required information. You can enter the street address (which may or may not work), or even better, insert the actual geographic coordinates as the address.

Adana kebab is ground lamb, mixed with spices, wrapped around a blade-like skewer, and roasted. -
Aşure (ah-shuh-reh) pudding is, according to legend, what Noah made when food was getting scarce on the ark. He mixed what was left, including apricots, raisins, currants, figs, pine nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, chick peas, and navy beans. Then he threw in some sugar and fruit juices. It is probably the oldest desert in the world. It is also a symbol of friendship. When someone makes Aşure, they typically make a lot of it, expecting to share it with many friends. Today you can find Aşure pudding in patisseries throughout Turkey. -

Beyti Kebab is wrapped in dough and served with yoghurt. -
The ice cream for sale on the streets of Turkey is probably different than you're used to. It has additional "gum" in it to make it chewy. The vendors constantly stir it, and often do various stunts with it on the end of their long spoons. -
A common scene on the streets of Turkey, especially during the winter months. -
