Map applications
Links to my Google Maps and other map applications. Google maps are based on the documentation of Google Maps API V3.
Most of the maps are stand-alone PHP scripts.
Here is also a collection of Finland maps from different sources.
Application | Description |

Specify a place location on Google map | A map tool to show place location coordinates on a Google map. A search by place names or coordinates is provided. A personalised start location is possible.
The place location can be copied and used for example as a link in an e-mail. In a desktop distance measurement is also available. On the bottom of the map are two links. First of them opens standard Google map with the same location and scale as this map. The second link opens OpenSreetMap application with the same location and scale as this map. A help is provided. |

Depending on your device either a desktop or a mobile version is shown.The start and end locations are defined by clicking on the map.
