That’s a good, clean homicide map. I like that it’s not muddled with any standard news site nav or templating, but at some point, someone’s going to ask us to put some ad positions in apps like this.
Embed Google ‘My Maps’ Map into Your Blog
Not exactly what I had in mind, but I think I can hack my way around the sketchy hosted bit to figure out the right place to call the KML. Not that I’m in any hurry to get this one done. Need some data first…
