We are using the tool at our Sakai implementation at the university of Amsterdam If you go the website: http://www.conflictstudies.nl (is one of our courses on the University Sakai server) and click on conflict maps you'll get an idea of the options of the tool. The information is stored in the Sakai Wiki as a wiki page which linked to a location on a Google map with push pins. To play with the tool you can visit the demonstration website of Edia; http://sakaitools.edia.nl . Create an account and join the map tool site. For more in depth info contact Jacques Koeman at Edia, their e-mail is on Edia website. Hi Michael,

Wayfaring seems to have all the features you are looking for. Here is one example using some of my relatives - http://www.wayfaring.com/maps/show/10391 Click on the "Blog" link for the embed code (iFrame). They are easy to make and easy to use. Hi Michael,
