It's cool to meet others like myself. The other day I was checking out GMap EZ, a super simple drop-in script to place the Google MAP API into a webpage: http://www.n-vent.com/googlemaptest It's pretty cool stuff. Doug,

I am still <a href="http://www.douglaskarr.com/test/full.htm" rel="nofollow">having some fun with this map</a>. I could add search, put a 'self-service' marker system up, add routing, and abunch of other features. Check out <a href="http://www.addressfix.com" rel="nofollow">Address Fix</a> for another example. I hope to have an interactive mapping site set up this week. BTW: Fantastic site and look forward to meeting you. We've got a 'loose' network of professionals here in Indy that we work with to help a ton of clients. We may need to get you in the mix! Absolutely, Ian! I am still having some fun with this map.

Thanks for sharing! I have never sat down to figure this stuff out, but it seems like the possibilities are endless. One use I can immediately see that would sell is embedding google maps with custom overlays right into clients' web sites. Doug, That is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!

Route optimization (2+ points) is a little tougher equation. There are some vendors out there that do it well like <a href="http://www.routesmart.com" rel="nofollow">Routesmart</a> but I've not seen any API or Software as a Service implementations. I'm sure that's around the corner somewhere! :) I agree - it is amazing!
