While Google Map hacks can be a fun way to pass the time, they can also be a powerful tool for your web site and for your online business. That's part of what's driving so much interest in the different programs and books that work to help you integrate Google Maps into your site. The latest book to come down the pike is Google Maps Hacks, by Rich Gibson and Schuyler Erle.
While I've not yet had a chance to peruse the book, Search Engine Watch's Chris Sherman offers up a review today.
Google Maps Hacks, by Rich Gibson and Schuyler Erle, provides one of the best resources I've seen if you're interested in thoroughly exploring the rich features available with Google maps.
Like the other books in O'Reilly's Hacks series, this book offers up seventy "hacks" that range from descriptions of features or websites, to detailed scripts that require more than a passing understanding of programming to make sense.
While these hacks assume a certain knowledge of JavaScript programming, many also are fully implemented on the web, allowing you to simply visit and play around with them without having to do the heavy lifting yourself.
