EZ Google maps for your web page

EZ Google maps for your web page

Tim Finin, 2:34pm 8 August 2005

Google Maps EZ is a free resource for embedding a Google map on a web page without writing any Javascript or learning Google’s map API. It uses standard HTML syntax with a few special keywords in a way that allows search engines to index the map contents. I tried it out to make this custom map for visitors to UMBC. Please suggest some other places to put on the map. I can attest to it being easy. And fun.

    Does anyone know where the Blaire Witch house actually is? I’ve read that it’s in Patapsco State Park, which is, of course, behind UMBC. I think it may be up river some ten miles or so, tho.

    I did a google search, but no luck. Tried Wikipedia, and found some answer. According to Blair Witch Wikipedia, the location at where the three protagonists really disappeared was Burkittsville, Maryland — 39°23′29″ North, 77°37′38″ West (39.391459, -77.627099).

    I’ve read that the scenes at the end of the movie involving the abandoned house were filmed in PAtapsco park. Some sites say it’s in the McKeldin Section. Maybe it was torn down.
