And another hint for you: you can use <strong>My Maps</strong> @ Google Maps to draw your own maps, place markers, descriptions, embed photos etc.!!! http://maps.google.com, select MyMaps tab ;) You can edit it at any time, add, delete stuff, but others can only see it and cannot modify. That's nice feature Google Map finally released. P.S. - btw, I’ve noticed that your main site does not work with FireFox browser (Flock particularly).

Well, the mtlmap.com was kind of a test of Google Maps API as well as making a handy tool to locate places by ZIP code and see where the nearest metro station is. To develop it further we need to convert it from static layout to dynamic, make it reading data from database - that way it will be way easier to maintain it. Plus it would be nice to have it more open so people could use it on their websites etc... About metro maps of STM, there are bunch of Gmaps these days out there: http://metrodemontreal.ca/en/ http://www.videomashups.ca/montreal/subwaymap.php and others, less ugly or more... :) About appartments on the map - I think I saw it somewhere, but I also like your idea with video ;) If you want we can take the further discussion off-line, just drop me a line at Project Management e-mail. http://codertown.com/index.php?id=contacts Hi bksunday, thanks for your post.
