Adding maps on India Travel Blog

I have been experimenting a bit with Google Maps on including relevant maps with all the posts. The task of setting up maps seems to be a little cumbersome but it works fine and the effort seems worth it.

I shall now try to spice up posts in future with relevant maps. Here is a sample map I generated of Laxman Jhula, with a marker for the bridge across Ganga(click on the marker to get info). If time permits, I hope to add maps to existing posts too.

I am slightly worried on the dependency on Google here though. Ideally I would just make an image copy of the map and post it here, but Google Maps terms doesn’t seem to allow me to do it. Hopefully it should not cause any problems in near future. If you know of any alternatives, do let me know.
