Google maps is probably one of the most powerful features within google.

The API

The google API has specific instructions for adding maps, including GPS tracks to your website.

Sample Code

  <script type="text/javascript">
   function onLoad() {
     var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"),{mapTypes:[G_SATELLITE_MAP,G_NORMAL_MAP]});
     map.setCenter(new GLatLng(37.927895,-122.5702025), 15, G_SATELLITE_MAP);

map.addControl(new GSmallZoomControl(),new GControlPosition(G_ANCHOR_TOP_LEFT, new GSize(1, 1))); map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl(),new GControlPosition(G_ANCHOR_TOP_RIGHT, new GSize(1, 1))); map.addControl(new GScaleControl(),new GControlPosition(G_ANCHOR_TOP_LEFT, new GSize(25, 5)))

var polyline = new GPolyline([ new GLatLng(37.929631,-122.570308), new GLatLng(37.929627,-122.570309), new GLatLng(37.929625,-122.570321), new GLatLng(37.929624,-122.570317), new GLatLng(37.929629,-122.570315), new GLatLng(37.929627,-122.570302), new GLatLng(37.929586,-122.57035), new GLatLng(37.929503,-122.570425)], "#0000FF", 5, 1); map.addOverlay(polyline); }
