google maps website integration

Hi Experts,

I'm working on a site and the client would like to keep thier static image of a map. But they would also like to include a google map showing the hotel locations etc in the area. I was thinking of using ajax to show a google map of the same size with the hotel locations etc when the user hovers over the static image.

How can this be done? Or do you have other suggestion about how to do this without showing the google map by default. A button & pop up maybe?

Here is the static image of the map.

Thanks!
HNM

Frosty555,

I agree that the map is kind of lame. And my thoughts are to as you mentioned.. keep the map image and place a button or link to deploy a popup or other in page transition to the google map. Thats what I need help with.. the elegant way to nest the google map as a pop up or hover triggered image with in the page.

Thanks,

HNM
