What is Google/Yahoo Maps?
- Google and Yahoo offer mapping products that can display an interactive map on a Web page. Developers have
permission to use these services on their own sites, and that is what this page does.
- The mapping services utilize a technology known as AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) which allows
for a more flexible and interactive mapping experience.
- Use this service to display a location on a map generated by Google, Yahoo, or both. Currently
only US addresses (in the form of Street, Town, State, Zip) work, but more capabilities
and enhancements are in the works.
- Specify decimal Latitude and Longitude coordinates (e.g. 38, -77) to get a map location.
- Specify a country to get the location of its capital city.
- You can zoom and pan the maps as desired. Zooming can be achieved by using the sliding scales
found on the maps. Panning can be achieved by left-click-holding any location of the map and dragging
it around.
- View the distance between 2 locations on the Google map by clicking on 2 points.
