Added New Google Map & Earth Details

Hopefully you've noticed the new "current location" map in the right corner of the blog. We hope this helps put locations to some of these sometimes unfamilar names. Couple of tidbits on them:

"View in Google Earth" will let you fly around our entire path, but you'll need to download the program first (it's free) if you don't already have it installed.

"View Larger Map" utilises Google's My Maps. You can click on an individual placemark and from there follow the link to the blog entry associated with that location.

There is one caveat though. Google limits each map display to 200 elements (to ensure speedy load time) which we just reached. So, you'll only see part of our path in one view. To link to the other portion, drag the left scroll bar all the way down and click previous (or next), per below red box.
