Smoke Free Integration with Google Maps
Dec 11th, 2007 by Alex
Since Google Maps allows us to do custom layers, all the smoke free places on the list so have been plotted on a map. I was going to do this via the Google Maps API, but this was so much easier than dealing with the XML plus it allows collaboration.
The Map (which has a hideous URL)
Rather than bookmarking that, you can click on it then add it to “My Maps” within Google Maps. If you’ve got a Gmail account and would like to collaborate on the map with me, shoot me a line and I’ll send you an invite.
I just discovered the My Maps feature last night. I could only get half of them to work. there was a really cool one that showed plate tectonics, but no luck getting it to show up.
Most of Howard County is smoke free, which is why anytime I eat in the city, I ask when the statewide ban kicks in.
