Google “My Maps” – a great mashup source

May 19

Written by: James Burke
Saturday, May 19, 2007

After logging into maps.google.co.uk and going to the “My Maps” tab there is a new facility to create personalised maps, save, share as a permanent link and even export as a KML file for viewing in the desktop Google Earth application.

If you are wanting to embed the Google Maps within a web page and go beyond the permanent link the KML file can be used to overlay onto a map invoked via the existing and extensive provided API.

A very quick and crude sample showing the "North East" of England region with two placemarks (one including an embedded YouTube video) is available here.
