Quikmaps lets you doodle on Google

While it’s always been possible to add
buttons and other information to Google maps, doing anything
complicated has generally required a fair degree of developer nous. Quikmaps (developed by a Canadian now resident in Australia) greatly simplifies
the process, allowing easy drawing of straight or freehand lines on
any Google map, as well as drag-and-drop buttons and text labels.
Registering (a free process that requires nothing more than a user
name at this stage) lets you save your doodled maps and generate code
to add them to your own site.

Remind me, what’s on the corner of King St and Clarence?

A pub, IIRC. Now, the corner of King and George is a whole other story, and where I should have put the flag, of course . . . though the picture needs to get replaced once I’ve got a bigger machine to hand than the Eee (not the best place for a screen grab!)

Still needs some work, but I do like it. The doodle and the draw lines did not work every time. However its a great idea and when it’s tweaked a bit, will be great!
