I've been having fun at work here using the Google Maps API. Tasked to build a website for the TSA, I had to come up with coordinates for most major U.S. airports, map them accordingly, and color code the icons depending on their status. Sounds like a semi-easy task, but it was a little bit of a learning curve to get it all working correctly. I eventually did get it up and running, and working great. Check out the screen shot below:
I will eventually post up an easy how-to regarding how I got this working and give you some code to get a similar site up and running yourself.
On a side note, some of the API documentation was a bit out of date as Google has merged the Map API with their AJAX API, so some of the function calls, specifically, GUnload() do not apparently exist now.
