Check out the MapCouch GuestMap!

Alas, my efforts to create the ultimate GuestMap have failed. What I wanted to do, and am still trying to do, is to get an image of the MapCouch world-map superimposed over a functional Google Map. Yeah, pin your location directly on the MapCouch, wouldn't that rock? But it seems the programming required to screw with that stuff is beyond my current technical abilities. SOO, what I have gotten at this time is a GuestMap for the MapCouch fans that visit here. It is in the sidebar to your right, should you be reading this directly on the MapCouch page (you better be!). So anyway, check it out!
