[Hidden-tech] Help for designing Online Carpool Map

[Daniel Fried]

Tim,

Actually, Google Maps has an API for doing that.  You still need to setup
your own backend (saving and retrieving people's locations for example), but
it will work.  Google Local (http://www.google.com/local) is an example of
how this works, but it is possible to do the same thing on your site without
too much difficulty.

There are plenty of people on this list (yours truly included) who could
help you with the backend setup if you need it.

Hello all-

I am working with a group of parents of Hartsbrook School to help the 
school and its members conserve energy.  On of our initiatives is to 
facilitate carpool coordination. I am looking for interactive online 
map software that we could put on our website to help families find 
each other. Does anyone have any suggestions or guidance?

Tim
