While I was busy figuring out how to embed Google Maps into this blog and changing my templates (previous post), Google announced an easy way out! From yesterday, users can add a map to their website or blog as an iframe into their page code.
Though the press release doesn’t list availability in India yet(!), you could zoom into a city map of India at a 15+ level (enough to see all those by lanes) . An option also enables you to easily customize the maps while previewing. A little more understanding of the parameters that are passed and I am sure you can disable the options like zooming in and map type (if you want).
