At the workshop last week we had a question about how to make a link to a specific city map in Google Maps. This is how you do it:

1. In Google Maps, go to the city of interest
2. In the upper right hand corner of the screen, there's a link icon--click that and you'll get a URL that you can use to link directly to that city (you can even get a short version of the URL).
3. For example paste this URL in your browser and go to this city map: http://g.co/maps/e2u2y
