Ross Wordhouse did one of these and I stole the idea from him:

My photo maps

Pretty cool technology. . .

BTW, the images that pop up are hyperlinked, you can click on them (or better yet right click into a new window) and go to larger versions.

Very cool idea! How do you link the photos to the locations etc?
Thanks Matthew!

John,

Once you create a map and put a "pushpin" at the location, you can enter a description. There is an option to enter the description in HTML.

Here is an example of the HTML I used to create a hyperlink to my gallery, and also embed a small picture:

<a href="http://www.pbase.com/sdaconsulting/image/70478941/large">

</a>

That's pretty cool. Ever try this on Google Earth?
