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.
Welcome to 2006!

Nat: Mine is better because it has big wheels.
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.
Coooool! I always wonder what is really possible with this mashups…
wow good stuff
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!)
Thank you very good Mine is better because it has big wheels.
Your demo is awesome dude! I was able to show it to some of my clients who need SEO, and I think this will be very helpful! I offer my services at http://www.mahanseoservices.com and I would love to read mor efrom you so I can better serve my customers!
Thanks!!
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 :)
Your demo is great man. Very useful for me.

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