Embed Google Route Maps of Your Flights into Your Web Site
Do me a favor. Paste this URL into your browser’s address bar:
http://jetrecord.com/routes/sea+jfk
And now paste this one:
http://jetrecord.com/routes/sea+jfk.map?width=450&height=300
Oh, yes, my friend! You can now embed route maps from Jetrecord into your web site, assuming your web site or blog allows you to embed content using iframes or something similar. WordPress does. How do I know? Well …
Why would you use this? Just for fun, of course! Are you flying somewhere cool? Do you know the airport codes for your origin and destination airports? Use the URLs above as a guide. Jetrecord will create your route maps on the fly.
For example, the airport code for Denver International is DEN. The airport code for Boston’s Logan International is BOS. Type this into your browser’s address bar: http://jetrecord.com/routes/den+bos
Jetrecord will draw the map for you and create the route page. Scroll to the bottom of the route page below the Google map. There is some code listed there to embed the map. Copy the code, modify the HTML if you want to (you may want to modify the dimensions of the map and the iframe), and paste it into your web site. Or pass the URL around via email, create a link to it, whatever you feel like doing.
Have fun! Oh, and be sure to read the terms and conditions at the bottom of the blog post on Jetrecord.
