Whoa there....

This is godsend for the thousands of web developers who require maps to show the viewer where the hotel/resort/apartment/b&b is located. If you think about it, virtually every business with a physical address can benefit from a decent locality map on their site.

Plus the Google map has way more embedded features than any web developer can ever provide.

No more scanning street directory pages, no more scanning crappy maps of the back of brochures. Any Mom & Pop site can add a professional map now.

I saw this feature about a week ago and it worked a treat. Just add the address and call up the map, zoom in or out to the required magnification, turn the address balloon on or off as required... and then grab the link code. Works a treat for me.

Hats off to Google on this one.
