Google have excelled themselves with the new GoogleMap technology. I've done some basic intergration using their API. By default the map shows all the places i have visited, but can be customised using the selection box.
In addition to showing my global exploits, the map is also a great tool for increasing your geographical knowledge.
Enjoy !!
It's not until you see a map like this, that you realise how small the world is and how many adventures are out there.
Instructions i) Use the navigational tools to move and zoom the map
ii) Using mouse, left click and drag to move map.
iii) Click on red markers for more information regarding location - including links to photos.
iv) Zoom to discover multiple markers in similar locations.
v) Toggle between Map, Satellite and a hybrid display.
Rules Google Maps is not compatible with every web browser. For best results use IE 6. Google Maps currently supports recent versions of Firefox/Mozilla, IE 5.5+, Safari 1.2+, and sort of supports Opera. IE 5.0 is not supported. A broadband connection will improve the experience.
i) All location markers are outside of England and Wales.
ii) I must have set foot outside of the airport/hotel for a location to count. I.e. transfers such as Goosebay in Canada and Minneapolis in the USA don't count.
iii) Locations within a 50 mile radius of another location don't get a mention. Details such as this will be found on the marker infotab.
