Well, one day Conrad made a composite map to Qiaochu's house from google maps by taking screenshots then scrolling a bit and then pasting them together. I then tried to make a map for biking to a driving class near Bel/Red road, and then one to my old house in Fairwood. Conrad then decided it would be a good idea to make an automatic map maker instead of copy pasting. So I decided to make one too.
Put yourself on the map in 2 clicks. Google Talk and Jabber users can now publish their presence on the world map. Nice to know the dude next door uses Jabber too ;) . You can even view the map in Google Earth (in 3D!)
