Situation: Your Distributed Team Needs Location-Specific Guidance

Go to Google Maps HomeGoogle Maps has a new function called "MyMaps" that allows you to quickly create your own maps (your own simple mashup) with links to deeper information. 

If your project is distributed, you could enter your team directory info into here and give everyone a better understanding of:
- where people are relative to work/client sites
- how to get to team-mate's locations when flying in to an airport

Here's a quick example of a map, Gantthead lunch spots,  that I put together in a few minutes.   Here are instructions for creating one yourself.

If you want to add country-specific information to your map locations, check Portals of the World for some pretty deep info approved by the Library of Congress
