Posterous works awesome with Google Maps
Embedding a Google Map in one of your posts could not be simpler. Just grab the map link from Google Maps and drop it on its own line into your email or our web based post editor. We'll expand it into an interactive map for you.
So if I wanted to show people where I've been staying lately I paste this link into my post:
And I get a map like this:

What's more, Posterous is now taking advantage off all the location data that you're sending us encoded in your images. So when I add the following image to my post:
Posterous looks up the the geocoordinates encoded in it and displays the name of the place with a link that expands into a map. Check out the bottom of this post just above the comments to see where the photo was taken. If you really don't want everyone knowing where you've been taking pictures you can turn this off on your site's settings page. (Note: this is turned off for all sites that were created before this post was posted, so if you have an existing site you'll need to go to your site settings to turn this on).
I'm Brett, by the way, and I'm new here. Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.
