How to use Google maps the most efficiently

    Hi everybody,

    I have a travel blog and for each article (each about one destination) I would like to add Google maps. My question is, how to do this? In my former travel blog I always created new Google Map with each destination which took quite a long time and effort. I heard sth about Google API, but I'm not skilled about this. I also thought about creating just one map and mark each destination into it, but it is not very different from my former efforts.

    How do you use it on your sites? Can you link here your examples as well?

    Thank you.

    It depends on the blog you use. If the blog doesn't already offer google maps plugin or something along these lines, you can simply insert the 'embedded code' that you can get directly at googlemaps.com Navigate to your location and click on the 'link' button in the top right corner. You'll then be able to copy the html code of the map as well as customize it if necessary.

    I will have 1000 posts, each with map, so do this 1000 times is quite boring...
