Ross Wordhouse showed me this yesterday.

I got really excited and ran with it and put my "favorites" in as well as some of my other pictures.

My photo maps

That's pretty cool Matthew! How'd you do that?

1. Go to maps.google.com

2. Sign in to google with your google account

3. Click the "my maps" button

4. Create a new map

5. Start putting pins in the map at the place where you take the pictures. Go to the "HTML" option for entering a description at the pin.

Here is the HTML I use

(a href="http://www.pbase.com/sdaconsulting/image/70539009/large")
(img src="http://www.pbase.com/sdaconsulting/image/70539009/small.jpg")
(/a)

the href tag makes a hyperlink for the next item.

The img tag embeds a jpeg image.

Then you close the hyperlink tag (/a)

Note: replace my parens with angle brackets. NPN doesn't allow direct entry of angle brackets.

That's basically all there is to it!
