Have you ever been to one of those webpages about a concert or some kind of event that had an embedded map telling you where to go? I love those. I can zoom in, out, get directions form my house or here at the CNPA office. I can’t navigate their way out of a shoebox without a ten-page instruction guide, so I rely heavily on good dynamic maps to give me a lot of surrounding area and other options.
How to integrate an Google Map into your page.
Why would you even want to put a map in a page? Well, what if there's a fire? Your readers will want to know where it is and see how close it is to their home. Or a concert? How far away is it? Maybe a new mini-mall is going up and the community wants to see how close it's going to be to their kids' school. There are endless uses.
