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

<googlemap lat="42.711618" lon="-73.25112"> 42.711618, -73.25112, this point is not on a line 43.224024, -70.28301, neither is this one

  1. 770077

42.202452, -72.83101, this is on a line of color #77077 45.214425, -72.48114, so is this

  1. 668800

42.201324, -70.95811, this starts a second line 43.404142, -73.44514, this is also on the second line </googlemap>


The API

To use google features within your own html, an API key must be applied for. Each URL needs it's own Key to funtion.
