Lesson goal: Make a Google Map

Everyone has seen Google's fine online maps. What's neat about their map service is that they allow programmers (like you) to "tap into" their map system to create your own programs that use their maps. This lesson will allow you to use your programming skills to create some kind of map application.

We have four pre-defined functions you can use to program your map. Here they are...have fun!

drawmap(latitude,longitude,zoom)
setmarker(latitude,longitude,"title")
setmaptype("type")
drawtrail(lat-array,long-array)
setcenter(latitude,longitude)

Move the mouse over a dotted box for more information.

Maps will always appear at the very bottom of this browser window. You might have to scroll down to see it.

Now you try. Fill in some latitude and longitude and see your own Google map!

This code will not run! You have to fill in the initial latitude and longitude about which to center the map.
