I'm curious if anyone has ever used the Google Maps API.

How does it work and what does it take to make a map?

So, I've started playing with the Google Maps API and so far I don't have anything uber great but eventually I might get there.

It was easy to start using. I just got an API Key and they gave me some sample code and sent me on my way.

I found this website that seems to be packed with information:
Google Maps API Tutorial

And I've begun developing my own map:
Riding For A Cure: Where I've Ridden

So far, I've gotten:
The view that I wanted
I've disabled dragging so that the view I want is always in view
I've got an XML file that contains the data for my markers
and if you click on the markers a little pop up pops up with info about each ride i've done

I still have a long way to get to what I have fully envisioned, but I figured I share my start with y'all

Ahh... I see. The site is blocked here, so all I know is that it linked somewhere.

Google provides a tutorial & walk-through for setting up the API to GoogleMaps.

You realize for your application that the users will need internet access in order to use the Google API command, correct?
