US local news sites plug into Google maps
Kansas-based Lawrence.com has introduced Google maps to news stories.Writing on his blog, the site's lead developer Adrian Holovaty said that the maps will add context to stories and enable users to 'navigate the news'.
Record Online, a local newspaper site in New York state, has also introduced Google's maps.
The locations featured in the news story are flagged up on the map. Users can zoom into maps and view satellite images detailed enough to show individual cars.
