texte = This is a fairly simple code snippet that will generate a Google map of your founditems.

You will also need to make a quick trip to Google to fetch a free key good for any map at your specific domain name. The hard part of the operation is mapping your addresses with longitude and latitude coordinates. I've written a script that helps in this regard using a simple scraping method (no special API calls or unwieldy XML necessary). Instructions are on the two pages that comprise the module.
