hello,
In our upcoming (honest guvnor) book, http://mappinghacks.com/ , there are a couple of openguides 'hacks' which i made. the first just describing how to do the setup, the second a simple map-making data-slurping thing.
I was recently given a little patch that allows you to link directly to maps on streetmap.co.uk. Apparently it's not included in the distribution because streetmap.co.uk don't want people linking directly. Since they're morons, I will shortly get around to making it work with multimap.com who I prefer anyway and have an enlightened policy on linking.
Indeed, they encourage it and allow you to set the map title (see map link on http://engineer.openguides.org/?Millenium_Bridge%2C_London).
Longer-term project is to hack in Lat/Long support for non-UK locations. I just need to learn more about Open Guides code.
