As of this week, adding a Google map, or even better, your Google “MyMaps”, to your webpage is a snap (pardon the pun). You know how simple it is to embed a youTube video into your blog? Well, it’s that simple. Here’s a short tutorial to show you how simple it actually is. We’ll create a custom google MyMap, add a Mapplet, embed some photos from our flickr account, save the map, and embed it within a website (in this article)… no problemmo! To finish I’ll offer up a couple of photo geotagging tools for those of you with GPS-enabled cell phones and a tool for mannual geotagging for those with no access to GPS. If you enjoy Google maps, flickr, and geotagging photos then this tutorial is for you.
