The Bible And Google Maps

My son sent me the ESV Bible Blog site tonight, with their article about Google and Bible maps. Seems Google has some out with what they call API, a way to embed maps into your web site. You can find full documentation on Google Maps API at Google maps.

ESV Bible Blog has the information on making a map of your own. A little HTML and javascript knowledge will be helpful. This is a way of tracing the steps by map of an event in the Bible. You can learn how to integrate the Bible verses from ESV Bible site to corresponding places on the map. This is a great idea for Christian sites that want to have a Bible study online.
