The Map Room: Google Maps API E-Book, GeoChalkboard Blog
Eric Pimpler of the GeoChalkboard blog (which I was not aware of prior to this) has posted the the fifth revision of Mashup Mania with Google Maps , a free 52-page e-book on the Google Maps API; direct link to the PDF . Via AnyGeo .
Like many developers, my maps often have a great number of markers in a small geographic area, but these areas may be few and far between in the larger area of the full map. Perhaps you are advertising Mercedes dealerships and there are 23 in greater New York, 19 in Chicago and 51 in Palo Alto. If you put all these markers on a US map, you would end up with 3 indecipherable blobs at these locations.
