Examples of Google Maps and Loki

I’ve been working with the Google Maps API and the Loki API to practice mapping applications. Here are a few examples of what I’ve accomplished:

• This example is specific to New York City, and you can type in as little as just a cross street to get your address: Intersection Map

• If you have the Loki plugin installed, you’ll be able to see where you are, and your approximate address, upon hitting this link: Loki example

• This example simply plots multiple markers on a map, pulling address or latitude and longitude info from a database: mySQL Example

• This is my favorite, but for now it only works if you have a Mac and the Loki plugin installed. This example shows you where you are on a map, and depending where you are, it plays a song about the area or by an area artist! Only NYC is included at the moment, so if you do not live in NYC and click the link you won’t hear a song yet, but more areas are coming soon: Loki with Quicktime

These were done mainly with PHP and Javascript, neither of which I knew very much about more than 3 weeks ago. I’m really starting to enjoy working on web related projects.
