Create Your Own Free Customized Maps

I just finished a new mapping feature for the services page. The new service allows you to pick a location on a map, adjust the map to your liking, and then write a description for your custom map. Once you have finished creating your custom map, you simply click the "View Your Map" button.

The maps are by Google and feature high-resolution satellite images of many areas of North Central Washington, with more areas being added all the time. The new service has many possibilities. You could send an email to your relatives far away showing them your what your house looks like from space. You could create a map showing your business and link to it from your website. You can show people where an event is going to take place, or which house just got knocked over in a windstorm.

Maps only take a minute to create and there is no limit on how many custom maps you can create. Your map can point to any location on Earth, your not limited to just North Central Washington. The custom map page also features links so you can easily link to your map from your blog, email or even a forum. I hopefully have most of the bugs worked out, if not, please let me know.

After creating a map, I clicked on the "HTML link" text, copied the text, and then pasted it into this blog to create the following examples,

Wapato Point on Lake Chelan

Dry Falls Visitor Center

Grand Coulee Dam

Mansfield High School

Downtown Twisp
