Thanks so much for your help with adding a map to the directions page on our web site. I was stumped until I read your directions.

I would love to see it used for education purposes. What a great way to tell historical stories.

You can even go one step further if you have a directory and an API key from Google. The key is free, you just need to register for it. Once you hvae the key you can build applications that use the Google map data in your web site. I own both an Australian and and UK Local Search business directory. These have 1.2 and 1.6 milluion listings each. I use th Google API to provide a free map service in both. You can see the system at work at http://www.UK-Local-Search.co.uk and http://www.AussieWeb.com.au

[...] John Jantsch at DuctTapeMarketing.com had a post today about how easy it is to embed Google Maps into a web page.

Iâ€™ve simply pasted that code below so the map shows up in this post, but you could put it on any web page. Then create directions in text to your business from various routes and youâ€™ve created some nice local keyword rich content. (This is a good web content strategy even if your clients donâ€™t need to find your office.) [...]
