I developed a nice little web page as an exercise in Google Maps and to help study for a Place Name Exam in one of my classes, GRG 301K. The test is over a set of locations. A map with numbers will be provided and each question will name a location and ask (multiple choice) which location on the map matches that name. My Place Name Exam - Google Map page is a tool to help study for the exam.

The locations are divided up into categories (as provided by the professor). Clicking on a category on the left will bring up markers on the map corresponding to the locations in the category. Clicking a marker will identify the location in an info window/balloon. Clicking a particular location within a category will center the map on the marker for that particular location.
