Google Releases Google Map API

Now, you can embed google maps into your own websites. Like, well, this:

Okay, it’s not working right yet. I’m still trying to figure it out. Okay, got it working. Problem was that trying to insert script elements into a wordpress post was problematic because it insists on mangling quote characters. I’ll post again when I have this all figured out.

I’ve disabled the above, since it doesn’t work properly from comments and the archive.

Oh, forgot the link to the API description.

Addendum: The Text Control plugin allows you to disable funky quote remapping on a post, which keeps the Javascript from being mangled. Check it out.

Addendum 2: Check this out. Heh.

    Hmmm. It complains that the API key was generated for another site
    and does not let me see the map. This whole API key business seems
    lame to me, I simply want to slurp the tiles for my own nefarious
    purposes. I guess having the API key lets me do that more easily now
    however…
