Since a coworker showed me Google My Maps a few weeks ago, I’ve been meaning to do something cool with it. Today I was finally inspired: I created a map of the places I’ve traveled, with links to photos and travel logs (click to check it out):
The interface is very slick AJAX, and being able to put HTML, images, and video in your own pop-ups is pretty cool. It’d be nice if you could also use your own icons; I had to repurpose a few, such as using the “man | woman” restroom icon for weddings 
I also had a moment of panic when I went to get the link and Google only displayed the first 10 markers, but happily discovered changing the num parameter in the URL lets you increase how many are shown at once. Still, it’s very fun to see where I’ve been and how much is still left to explore!
