Just kicking an idea around in here to add Google maps data to a website.

It has an existing database with full address tables so if we could get it the relevant lat/long for each record on the fly we could put a little map on the page... is there an easy way of doing this? or an off-the-shelf solution

I was looking into the same thing, and found it very hard to get the address converted into lat/long details.
I came across a while ago of some blog, where some Dublin fella made a php script connected to some UK site that was doing just that, but couldn't find it again.

If you have any ideas let me know cause I am looking for a solution as well.

I remembered the script was using Multimap.com - Online Maps to Everywhere

Aslo have a look at this: http://world.maporama.com/idl/maporama/drawaddress.aspx

Yeah I've found other site slike those but I really do not want to add a new field to the database, and hence all the forms etc etc

Nope.. but it's not immediately urgent - just something we're kicking around for a client partner version of our main site

It is not launched yet so please don't spread the link around but we have v2 with Google maps. Biology.ie

Paul any decent implementation would require some additions to your database fields.

figment - that's very nice :)

You may want to check the blog's mainpage in FF though, as the header is covering the navigation bar

yeah i figured that figment, so am prepared to do that... its for a supermarket chain, so once they send us the definitive list of their 300 odd stores, we're going to add a table of co-ordinates
