Every now and then, I find something that grabs my attention and says "this has real applications right now!" YourGMap is one of those things.

YourGMap is a FREE web based application that lets you create your
own map and publish it to the web so you can link to it from any web
page or email message. I quickly put together a map of the west district county offices and research stations.
Because this is based on Google's Map program, you can pinpoint down to
within a 100 yards or so or you can map points across the country or
world. You can indicate a location by street address, GPS coordinates
or by pointing to it on the map. You can also add comments to each
location. I choose to include the address and entered the phone and fax
numbers. Once you've created a map, you can go back and edit it later
to remove or adjust your locations or add more locations to it.

How could an Extension Agent use this?

• Map your demonstration farms. Use different color pointers to indicate different types of demonstrations.


• Map disease or insect outbreaks.


• Map the largest trees in the county.


• Map the roadside vegetable stands.


• Map the 4-H Clubs meeting places.


• Map the locations where you will be teaching a nutrition class. Use the
  comments to indicate the date and time for that location.

These are just a few ideas that I thought of off the top of my head.
I'm sure you can think of many more that apply to your work.
