Many business like to show where they are located, and most use a google map embedded into their “Find Us” page, or link directly to Google Maps.

On developing a new social site for touring Cheshire (soon to be released into beta), I have been looking into what different uses Google Maps has when embedded.

One of the many functions I’ve discovered within the Google Maps Api community is Reverse Geocoding. Geocoding is the process of assigning geographic identifiers to to map features and other data records, such as street addresses. Reverse Geocoding what it says on the tin, retrieving the address of a given point on the map.

In 2008, take the scenic route when you visit the RHS Flower Show at Tatton Park.

The Stanley Arms Pub and Restaurant extends a warm welcome to boaters, walkers and cyclists. Open all day, with gardens that sit beside the Trent and Mersey Canal, your hosts Mike and Angela invite you to savour their traditional home cooked food and beers that the locals have enjoyed
for many years.

I have found in my line of work that, from a customers point of view, getting changes done to their websites can be a long process in some cases. Imagine that you would have to email your web designer, who in turn will add it to his queue of jobs, before even getting round to it. This could be a slight change of service, or a change of price.

Now imagine that you could log in to your own online system and change it all yourself…
