These guys have some articles on how to use google maps and overlay
your own lat/lon or even gps information on them. Really cool stuff!
"Okay, I've been playing around with sending requests to Gmaps via a
Python proxy and manipulating the files returned on the fly. As a
result I've created a bookmarklet that loads the required XML file
into the page: (Google Maps Load XML Data Example Bookmarklet)
javascript:(function() {window.parent._load('<?xml
version="1.0"?><page><title>Somewhere</title><query>Somewhere</query><center
lat="49.275428" lng="-123.116856"/><span lat="0.017998"
lng="0.027586"/><overlay
panelStyle="/mapfiles/geocodepanel.xsl"><location
infoStyle="/mapfiles/geocodeinfo.xsl" id="A"><point lat="49.286428"
lng="-123.116856"/><icon image="/mapfiles/marker.png"
class="local"/><info><title
xml:space="preserve"></title><address><line>Somewhere</line></address></info></location></overlay></page>',
window.document)})();
If you save this book marklet and click on it when on any
(?--certainly the home page) Gmaps page it should move you to a
location in Vancouver, Canada."
