Google Maps and scoop New Code

I have a scoop site dedicated to cycling, and one thing that is useful is to share points of interest and bicycle routes. Here is a description of my attempt to integrate Google maps into my scoop site.

It is still a little bit kludgy. Part of this is my own inadequacies and part is due to the relative newness of the Google Map API. It seems to be okay under firefox but of course Internet Explorer still has some issues. I do not use windows so this may be a difficult aspect to address.

At any rate, it is a first shot at integrating maps into scoop. As far as I know this makes scoop the first geographically aware blogging system.

Finally, kudos to the scoop developers. This was a relatively easy thing to do. The scoop system is very flexible and well documented.

This is really nice. I was going to get started developing something quite similar in a few weeks. We'd been discussing it for several months but I guess great minds think alike. Please stop in #scoop and #scoophost on irc.slashnet.org as we'd like to help you enhance your mechanism to include stories, tags, and other coolness found in the depths of Scoop. Again, Excellant Work!
