Does anyone know anything about google maps?
At the moment with my S3's we are going to produce audio guides to the many and varied(??) tourist attractions of Huntly - The Family Town. I have recorded a basic one myself to use as an example with the class and I have also put together very quickly a google map.
Here's the question, does anyone know of anyway to marry the 2 so that the map can be set up to 'follow' the audio so to speak, or so that the lines trace out the route as the guide takes you along it. I thought about Google Earth but that is out as it's not on my class pc and it would take at least 20 years before our sole technician got the time to install it. Any mash ups I could use?
Houses and cars are not very cheap and not every person is able to buy it. Nevertheless, personal loans was created to help people in such kind of hard situations.

Hi Adam,
I'm not too familiar with Google Maps other than a good scoot around Moscow or a look at the Aircraft Carriers in San Diego Bay but one man who seems to know his stuff is Ollie Bray of Musselburgh Grammar.
I know he's spoken to Lou and I about his adventures with it. Here's a link to his blog: Ollie Bray: http://www.olliebray.com/
Also...Here's a link to Steve Beard: http://tarannau.ethink.org.uk/
We are working with Steve in Shropshire Schools...while we were down he was telling us about Geagraphers he knows who are using Google Maps for all kinds of stuff, might well be worth picking his brains.
Hope this helps.

Hi Adam,
Great idea. Have you seen this Stephan Rinke's use of Google Maps for directions in German?
