In case you haven’t noticed, one of the projects I’m working on right now is putting maps on a client’s website.  I’ve told you about My Map from Google, and the free map making site at www.AardvarkMap.net.

However, my client came across another free do-it-yourself map making site that is even better than Aardvark.  The site is ZeeSource. 

The ZeeSource site is a bit more complicated than Aardvark, but it offers lots of different capabilities, too.  Here are just some of the things you can do:

• Select different colors for the Marker push pins you use to identify locations
• Add Annotations - descriptive text that appears without clicking on a push pin 
• Identify a location’s address as well as a link to another URL
• Add photo or audio to a Marker’s push pin
• Download a PDF of the map
• Let other people add locations to a map (people like visitors to your website)

Keep in mind that unless your map is marked Private, other users on the ZeeSource site can access the map.  So, it’s a good idea to create an account and set your maps up so you’re the only one who can access them.
