Time to check in on some of the cool new maps being created with Google's new My Maps map creation tool. For those of you haven't heard of it yet, My Maps is a do-it-yourself tool that lets you create your own Google Maps mashup with a few mouse clicks (and NO coding). It's really easy.. So easy a caveman could do it! To give it a whirl, slide over to Google Maps and look for the 'My Maps' tab.. To wake up your creative juices, here are some great examples that should inspire you to make your first Google Maps mashup! :)
