Google Maps API
Drawing Routes on the Map
Simon Buckle has some Javascript code that allows you to place a series of waypoints on a Google Map, with lines appearing automatically between the points. It can be seen
at WebWalking.com and a screenshot is shown here.

Maps in Maps
Here's a neat feature in a google map -
Popup maps within the map! Click on one of the markers and you'll see what I mean. This is useful for getting the detail on something without losing track of your surroundings, and it saves on zooming in and out the whole time too.

Editable Google Maps
Here is an example of
a gmap application that allows you to set your own markers on the map.
The author of this app is Greg Stoll, and he has his own nifty waymarker application that also gives you distances between locations. The markers are stored in an XML file; this file is processed in mapjs.js so that the markers can be added to the map.

PHP Class for the Google Maps API
This looks interesting:
A Google Maps API class for PHP.
The example certainly seems to be exactly what you'd want from such a class.
