Send annotated Google Maps to a friend with quikmaps
Ever tried to stick a pin into a Google Map and send it to a friend? Google Maps is nifty in quite a few ways, but its website is entirely for consumers. For the least bit of interactivity, one has to throw additional code at it. The author of quickmaps.com did so, and I like the result. The well chosen set of functions includes adding markers, labels, lines and polylines to a map, save map to and retrieve map from personal collection using clean URLs, add map to own blog or website, and export map as KML. An optional public view on someone's collection would be nice to have. Microsoft's Live Local has most of these functions built in, by the way.
