Fun with Google Maps

A while back I mentioned I was playing with the Google Maps API. I've still got a bunch of things I want to try, but I finished one item so I thought I'd show it off.

It is a boundary map for Hartshorn-dale. A short disclaimer is probably in order here - the zip codes used are from our current zip code list, but the boundaries of those zip codes are from the US Census Bureau ZIP Code Tabulation Areas which were last updated in 2003 and will not always match the zip code boundary. Still it's close enough for a project like this. The map can currently be found on my website.

If you use Firefox to view it, you will sometimes be missing part of the boundary. Changing the zoom level will usually fix this. I'm still trying to find a work around that will have it work all the time.
