How to create something like Google Maps for a website?
Q. How does Google Maps work and how would I need to get something like that on a website I'm starting.

Also, I understand Navteq sells map and has a similar online map like Google has. Is it possible to somehow forge a partnership with them?

A. You can license the Google Maps API, to use their maps for your online project.

Otherwise, simply, they are either pre-rendered PNG tiles of various zoom levels, or they are rendered on the fly from raw map data, delivered as PNG tiles, either as the browser requests them.

How do you measure how many miles there are when using Google Maps?
Q. I need to be able to measure how many miles it is from one place to another on Google Maps. But I don't know how. Could someone please help me? Thanks so much to everyone who answered.

A. Google maps labs (a little green chemical bottle in the top right) has an option to add a distance measurement tool. Apparently it is "not ready for prime time" but works well for me.
