Map view of Nanluoguxiang, combining photos from two galleries

I continued my dabbling in Google Maps. I wanted to see if I could display pushpins from multiple galleries on the same embedded map. As far as I can tell, there is no easy way in smugmug maps of combining specified galleries, and I wanted to see if I could get around this...

I logged in to Google Maps, created a new map under 'My Maps' and imported the KML feeds from my two Nanluoguxiang galleries, one from summer 2007, another from this summer. Then to create an iframe, I did 'customize and preview embedded map' under 'link to this page.' Basically I wanted to see if I could overlay the maps views from separate galleries covering the same location. Seems to work pretty well... Just click on one of the markers to see a thumbnail of the photo and get a link to the photo in the gallery...
