Maps

With JavaScript APIs for Google Maps, Bing Maps, and MapQuest, and Open Street Maps (Overpass API), it is very easy to embed customized maps on your website.

We'll take a look at a few different examples of how to include maps on our site:

• Embed a map created using vendor-provided tools
• Use the JavaScript API
• Custom Data
• Use standards such as GeoRSS

Each approach has some advantages and shortcomings.  Essentially the trade-offs will be increased complexity with increased flexibility and control.
