Like I said, other sites use the Google maps API to do custom programming used to display on Google maps. There are other sites that do this such as ones that show crimes in Chicago and show traffic. Can't think of the names off the top of my head

So how does that work?

Google just let's anyone use their code?

Is that with an API?

Come one, let's get some more people and pix

Hey awf170 - do you know if you can get the default view to just be the Northeast?

done

Thanks - can you shift it over just a bit to include all of NY and PA?

ya, just give me an area code that i can use that is central or western mass(actually I could just use yours) because I need an area code for the center, so i just used mine.

Yeah, an API is an Application Programmer's Interface. It gives other programmers a set of functions that they can call to access the Google Maps code. Here is a link to the documentation: http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/

It looks like Albany is pretty much the center of the Northeast. Do you need area code or zip code? Anyways, the area code for Albany is 518, a zip code is 12201. Try that. Also, how about taking the space out of "AlpineZoners"?

zip code is invalid and i cant change the name of the group.

Weird. It works here:

Here are a few more to try:

That is amazingly accurate. I could have used that instead of going out and driving all my old running routes.

Oh, and I'm in for the other map.

No one else?
