This is my third tutorial on the Google Maps API v3. I’m going to show you how to use some other google maps features by building an interactive travel map. Everyone will be able to add new locations on the map and view the locations added by others. We will also be using MySQL databases to store the values of different locations so let’s get started.

What google maps features you’ll learn?

* Adding a map to your site
* Adding controls for the map and settings the options for the controls
* Responding to events
* Adding markers, settings options for markers and dynamically changing marker settings
* Geocoding a location
* Creating tabbed infowindows (using jquery, jquery ui and some sample code from google code)
