I just did a short talk at the Google Technology User Group meetup in Stockholm this evening about the Google Maps API. The purpose of the talk was to give a quick introduction on how to get started as well as show off some of the features. I wanted to emphasize how easy, using only a few lines of code, it is to leverage power-full features like geocoding, directions and streetview in your own implementation.
Here is the presentation as pdf and the implementation examples I demonstrated.
It was great fun as always, with lots of people (apx 90). Thanks for having me!
