今天下午，Yuandahua 打电话问我有没有地图相关的产品，他需要一个演示。于是我告诉他我们使用 Ruby on Rails 实现的一个 GoogleMap 查看相册，我在2006年中文网志年会的 Mush up, or Shut up! panel 上也介绍过这个功能。如今我不知道这个凝聚了我们心血的Web Design，还能在网上呈现多长时间，特地记录下来。

Tom Managan’s Fun With Google Maps 提供了两个非常好用的Google API Extension, 使用这两个Extension可以轻松的向Google Map上加入自己希望的Label, 强烈推荐:

TPhoto API Extension

While figuring out how to lay my own images into the Google Maps interface, I ended up with some pretty useful javascript, so I bundled it up as a tightly integrated extension to the official API.

TLabel API Extension

While I was building the Blackbird project, it bothered me that the info windows were so big, even if I didn’t have enough text to fill them. TLabel is my answer to that problem. With it, you can label a point on the map and only take up as much map-space as you need. Now I just need to go back and use it on the Blackbird page.
