Google Maps API; More Google Links
Google has released an API for embedding Google Maps in your own web pages via JavaScript. Hacking Google Maps has just gone legit — not that Google seems to have had much complaint with the majority of the hacks out there. The main stipulation seems to be that the web site must be freely available. Via Google Blog; see also O’Reilly Radar for a first approximation.
Presumably this supercedes the DIY hacking resources out there (see previous entry).
In other Google Maps and Google Earth news, here are a couple more links:
- A directory of Google Maps links to UNESCO World Heritage Sites (via O’Reilly Radar).
- A mash-up of salesforce and contact data with Google Maps, from a software vendor in that field.
- MAKE’s short video on using Google Earth with a GPS.
- A magnificent MetaFilter post summing up a lot of recent Google Maps and Google Earth stuff.
