OT:

Google has posted a full API description, with samples, of its Google maps
API. (http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation ) The only thing you as
a user would have to do would be register for an API key. Note that the
position within your web site location is very important and can not be
moved, once set, hence the use of an iframe to deploy it. See the following
detail posted by a disgruntled developer:

The most frustrating development with the Google Maps API is that each
developer key is limited to a certain hostname and directory. It's sensitive
to things like "www.maisonbisson.com" instead of "maisonbisson.com" or
"maisonbisson.com/blog/post/10594" instead of "maisonbisson.com/blog/" .
That's why this is loading in an iframe.

Hope someone will find it useful and be able to add it to their web site or
Access application.
