Map Everything!

I just realized that Google Maps now allows you to embed maps in pages! Hooray! Is this new, or am I slow in finding these things? I guess they got tired of having people copy their imagery and post it to their blogs, etc.

For your entertainment, a demonstration, using the Jello Museum in Le Roy, New York as an example:


View Larger Map

How to use it: Find what you want to include in your map. Then click "Link to this page" (toward the top right of the page). Copy the link and/or HTML, and paste it into your blog, e-mail, or whatever. Note that it keeps your query terms in the link (q=blah blah blah).

While we're talking about Google Maps, check it out -- you can view imagery of Mars!

Map away!
