Technically goofing off?

This morning I woke up in no particular mood to rush off to the studio, instead having a list of odds'n'ends that I could do on the backend of my production - database entry and the likes. Somehow, I ended up surfing (surprise!) and found myself trying to figure out how to get a map application to work for me.

After many hours of tweaking and tearing my hair out trying to figure out a specific detail (which I never did really solve) here it is....

It's much like a google map in that you can click and drag and have the map unfold as you need more. I've added specific locations from where I painted some of my recent landscapes. Maybe I'll even update it, or do some of that dreaded back end work to catch up on entering more from the past.

...

And then I find there is another prebuilt service which let me put this together in an almost painless matter of minutes, and it uses the google map system.
