Stumbled on this pretty nice site which lets you plot stuff on a map, using the google maps API and lets you either link to the map (like this) or embed it on your own site (let’s see how this works, below - and whether planet likes it or not..)

Edit: Ok, looks like planet does not include the embedded iframe, perhaps it’s a wise move to avoid abuse.. it would have been nice though. Jeff, maybe you can have a look at it sometime? For everyone interested who is reading this through planet gnome or maemo, click the post title above to see the embedded map as well. For those interested, it’s our flight route we had on saturday while visiting the annual pilots’ fly-in in Jämijärvi, Finland. Some photos of the event can be found here. (heh, I used *all* my blog categories in this post, except for “work”, since I am on vacation, of course.. :D)

This would have been handy during Guadec, for the ice cream case. So much easier than taking screenshots and using the Gimp to plot stuff on the map..

Now, what if this was combined to some “friends” -system so that everyone who was a member of the “guadec” group could have added their own interesting notes and tags on the map? That would have been very interesting…
