live yahoo maps replace google maps
(e:ajay) who works at yahoo wrote to me suggesting I use yahoo maps instead of the links to google maps that occur when you use the link tag in your journal. At first I was skeptical because I tried out the AJAX based maps and it was throwing some errors or conflicting with some of the sites other javascript. It also had this bug when you scrolled over it, down the journal, it would think you were zooming in and out on the map.
So I went to the yahoo API site, switched to the flash API and its all set. I love it, these are freakin' great. Now we have inline maps right in the journals. I will add some code so you can add other data to your map point.
Here is an example (MAP TO: 24%20LINWOOD%20AVENUE)

Hello hello

I mean going all the way across the city is only like 5 drags, lol.
I can make the location marker link to a full size external yahoo map with all the feature.
map.addWidget(new NavigatorWidget("close"));
so you can get the navigation widget.
That might be handy too...

But ... I have noticed that Yahoo's graphic design is looking more and more like Google's every day. What's up with that?
