The Solanaceae Source Web site, a global monograph of the genus Solanum,
has also implemented Google Maps on it's species pages (e.g.
http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/projects/solanaceaesource/taxonom
y/description-detail.jsp?spnumber=1065).

The Web site is a product of the ongoing PBI Solanum project, funded by
the NSF (Grant number: DEB-0316614), and is a work in progress. Any
comments, criticisms, advice on any aspect of the Web site is welcome.

Here is an example of using Google Maps API for point distribution data:

<http://www.evergladescisma.org/species/subinfo.cfm?sub=2783> 

See bottom of the page.

 

We are implementing this technique across the Southeast U.S.

 

If anyone has questions about using Google Maps API, please let me know
and I will be glad to help.

Great to see map information with the species, and using Google Earth is
exciting. 

It would be nice if some representation or preview of the map appeared
right on the page... worth taking a look at the Google Maps API.  Helps
you know if it's worth the extra click & switching to the other app.
Also, did you know that KMLs will show up on maps.google.com too?  It's
called "kml on maps" - might help with what you're looking for. 

Best,

Hello,

I will not be attending the meeting this fall  but  thought that this
may be of interest to those interested in species pages models.
I am working on species pages that include the use of video.  The videos

were only added a month ago and are a bit rudimentary
(with budget-conscious equipment) but the potential now seems truly
limitless.
