Default google maps
Just kicking an idea around in here to add Google maps data to a website.

It has an existing database with full address tables so if we could get it the relevant lat/long for each record on the fly we could put a little map on the page... is there an easy way of doing this? or an off-the-shelf solution

I was looking into the same thing, and found it very hard to get the address converted into lat/long details.
I came across a while ago of some blog, where some Dublin fella made a php script connected to some UK site that was doing just that, but couldn't find it again.

If you have any ideas let me know cause I am looking for a solution as well.

I remembered the script was using Multimap.com - Online Maps to Everywhere

Aslo have a look at this: http://world.maporama.com/idl/maporama/drawaddress.aspx

there is a good place to get your lat and long for a small amount of addresses manually if needed.

Nope.. but it's not immediately urgent - just something we're kicking around for a client partner version of our main site

Paul any decent implementation would require some additions to your database fields.

figment - that's very nice

You may want to check the blog's mainpage in FF though, as the header is covering the navigation bar
