Is there a limit on how many markers I can put on a Google Map?

Geocoding Photos FAQ
Technically, no, but there's a practical limit. As the number of markers increase, so does the time required for the web browser to process them. The time becomes an issue when the number of markers exceed a few hundred. As long as the number of makers remain below 100 or so, it shouldn't be a major factor.

Why are some site markers out of place on the map?

How can I print my Google Map?

GPS Visualizer: FAQ
Good question. It seems that printing maps created using the Google Maps API is unreliable at best. Every browser seems to behave a little bit differently, so any "tricks" I include to make it work in, say, Firefox, might cause everything to blow up in Internet Explorer. Mac OS X: The keystroke Command-Shift-3 will save a picture of your entire screen to your Desktop. You can open that picture in a graphics program or just print it as-is using a program like Preview.

Can you use Google Earth for the Tour map?

Tour of America: FAQs Archives
Well, we can't, for two reasons, but you might be able to. Google Earth requires both broadband Internet and a PC. We use Macs and we don't have anywhere near broadband capability. Frappr works best for us. But if you want to see where we are, you can get the zip code from our Frappr map or www.usps.com, and then use Google Earth to explore the area.

How can I save my Google Map to my desktop or my own Web site?

GPS Visualizer: FAQ
When GPS Visualizer creates a Google Map, it uses a "Google Maps API key" that is unique to gpsvisualizer.com; files created with that key can only be viewed while they are on this site. However, getting an API key is free, so if you want to put a saved map on your own site, you can sign up for your own key and replace my key with yours in the HTML source.
