This morning I found a very cool blog tool called MapMyPage (in beta) that easily adds a link to a pop-up Google Maps page whenever you mention a location. Such as…Richardson, Texas and it adds a small globe that you can click on to get to the map.
All you have to do is add a simple few lines of javascript and it is all automatic (assuming that javascript is enabled).
I’m testing it now to see how it works and how much of a strain on the page load it makes.
Go check it out at MapMyPage.
Update 5-22-2011, the site has now gone away.
