I was trying to run a map on Google Maps for a place I had to be in the evening, when I saw a small tab called "My Maps" on the left sidebar! It is a real cool feature, where you can save your maps – but more importantly, you can create mash-ups with pictures and shapes and lines etc.. and then share with public or friends. You can add videos, pictures etc.
Here is the official blurb for it:
Create and share personalized, annotated maps of your world.
- Mark your favorite places on your map.
- Draw lines and shapes to highlight paths and areas.
- Add your own text, photos, and videos.
- Publish your map to the web.
- Share your map with friends and family.
More about this feature is given here.
