Map editing

Man oh Man, today has been spent setting up the little Google map thingy. Pretty painful and has taken me most of the day. I'm using a Java Script which was obtained from http://n01se.net/gmapez/. Unfortunately it doesn't work very well with the Blogosphere since it expects all the keys to be passed down as parameters. As a result I've had to edit the Java Script and save it with a specific key for this site.

Since I've got it working though it's a really nice tool. I just update a list of GPS co-ordinates in my blog and you'll be able to see where I am (or was!).

Anyway thanks to the guy who wrote this script in the first place. Please visit him here. I'll make my stuff available to him so that everyone else can use his great mapping tool. Also thanks to Google for having such an awesome map tool. Really Cool.

If you press the centre button of the Google map control navigator it should take you to my latest position (or at least the last log I entered!)
