Code and documentation for Google AJAX APIs can be found here.

Lab 13

For this exercise I want you to create a dynamic map using the Google Maps AJAX API.
I have a sample on the ridgewater.net home page.  Click on the link that says "map".

You will need to sign up for a Google Maps API key.  You need to create YOUR own key.  Do NOT use my key. 

Create a HTML page that where you created your own map.  This map location should be of some importance to you.  Whether it is where you live, a place you would like to visit, or a famous place.

The page should look complete with a title, background color or image, and some text.

The map needs to have navigation controls, a marker and a pop up that describes the marker position.
