Actually, it's an attractive and incredibly simple way to add a map to a blog. But it's not quite what I'm looking for. I had three problems with the embedded live map. First, I'd like to see the entire route at once; as it is, I see only a portion of the route, and there doesn't seem to be a way to tweak that. Second, there's no zoom capability on the live map. Third, I'd prefer that there were a bit less extraneous info surrounding the map. I'll play around with it some more, and perhaps it'll grow on me, but I suspect I'll just need to make my own static images that link to the live map.
