Google Map generator

I've always found creating Google Maps a bit fiddly but this site makes it easy:

1. Use the map to choose your centre point and zoom level
2. Put in the marker's latitude and longitude and balloon text
3. Click Add Marker
4. Generate JavaScript

HINT: to convert a Uk postcode to latitude and longitude use this:

Don't forget a Google API key for the domain where you are showing the map:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html

Excellent link James - thanks for that. Although the Google Maps API is relatively easy to use, this little app makes it a breeze.
