YouTube + Google Maps API Mashup

I put this little demo together in preparation for the hack-a-thon this Thursday.

It uses the YouTube player Javascript API to synchronize a Google Maps widget with the video (based on the current time of the video). It was pretty easy to throw together, it took maybe 4 hours from start to finish, and I’ve never used the Google Maps Javascript API before.

Check it out.

  1. Crazy cool. I’ve always considered geotagging to be one of Flickr’s more under appreciated features (and such a great UI). Another creative recent media+location mashup involves a murder mystery told with the Google Maps API. I can’t wait to see what else people come up with.

  2. Wow is an understatement – i love it – i showed a few clients at our agency today and they were very impressed. (thanks for making me look good!)

  3. Hmm… I don’t see the map :(
    Anyway, I like youtube xml api (not javascript) much more than it’s js api…

    As example, I use it on my weather pet project for getting coords (titles, description etc) and then place movies on googlemap.

    And, I agree that googlemaps api is pretty easy to learn :)

  5. Great demo but one question regarding the markers… did you manually add them or does this video contain the necessary GPS info.
