What's That Noise?! [Ian Kallen's Weblog]
Sunday April 23, 2006
Using the Google Maps API Just for giggles, I fiddled around with the Google Maps API on the Happy Valley Odyssey of the Mind blog by putting up a map of Ames, Iowa, where the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals take place.
I tried setting polylines to outline the perimeter of the Iowa State University campus but it seems like the Google Maps API is pretty brittle; if you get it wrong, there's no debugging apparent (I checked the Javascript console), you just get a blank map. I'll have to poke at it a bit more some other day. Doing the basic stuff is easy though, check out How to add a Google Map to any web page.
Be sure to stop by the Happy Valley Odyssey of the Mind blog and make a donation, it's a great cause!
