Google Maps API Now Available
Google has just announced the availability of a Google Maps API.

The Google Maps API is a free toolkit that enables developers to create computer programs that interact directly with the Google Maps system. With the Google Maps API, developers can embed Google Maps in their own web pages with JavaScript. Specifically, developers can add their own overlays to the map, including markers and shadowed "info windows, " just like Google Maps.

While some have already taken the liberty of hacking Google Maps, Google now wants to embrace the efforts. Examples of Google Map hacks include housingmaps.com, dynamite.co.uk/local and chicagocrime.org.

The API is open to commercial and non-commercial websites that are free to consumers. Google will include the Google logo on the map, a link back to Google Maps and may show ads in the future on the maps. More info about the Google Maps APIs can be found at http://www.google.com/apis/maps/
