Google Maps

Tell me this is not cool!The night it was announced my son and I began brainstorming what we should try.

I have to click on one of the panel items to make the map show, but I am looking into that. This one is a mock up of the next one I’d like to finish. It doesn’t work yet. I plan to pull all the data and store in on my server.
