Thanks Martin Boult for the heads-up on this!

Your Geotagged map location in Google maps can be added to VOX either as a screenshot (as below) or by embedding the google map into your VOX blog post directly.

Here's an example of directly embedding Google Maps into a Vox post - click on the 'Google' icon on your AudioBoo map, this will take you to Google Maps, then you can choose street view, then click "Link", then "Paste HTML to embed in website", copy the html code, and paste into the VOX 'embed' field:

Google Maps Australian Bush Fires: "

The Victoria fires, having already destroyed more than 700 homes, have made for Australia’s worst bushfire outbreak in the history of the country. To help keep people informed on information surrounding the fires, Google Australia has created a flash map (below) with fire locations and status updates.

The map pulls Victoria Country Fire Authority data from an RSS feed and shows markers where fires are in progress, with the number displayed equating to the number of fires in a particular location. The map is color coded, so green markers designate safe areas, orange means contained, yellow equates to controlled regions, and red means fires are still in progress.

You can grab the code to embed a slightly tweaked version of the map here.
