One other thing. Google requires a key to use this, and it is indexed  
to the URL. You must use www.findu.com for this to work. findu.com,  
web.findu.com, www1.findu.com, www.findu-you.com, for example, all  
are aliased to the same cgis, and all of these will work in any URL  
on findU, except, unfortunately, this new google map feature. The  
only answer I can see is to register all of these other aliases and  
get a separate key, use the cgi function to determine the referring  
URL, and use that to send the correct URL. Pain in the butt, and  
therefore something I will leave for late in the development.  
Hopefully they will have added the ability to specify aliases long  
before I get to that point.

In the meantime, just use www.findu.com!
