Exercise 5.3
The maps I have chosen to embed into my blog this week are all places in the world that I would like to some day visit. And the last map, is of all the places I would like to see in the USA (I have documented a trail).

Exercise 5.4
I cant really think of a "unique" service that linking maps could be useful for, however the first useful idea I could think of was providing location information to whoever may be in need of it. For example, my mum and dad live in a "spaghetti junction" location at Bargara that is quite difficult to navigate to. In the past, if I have had a birthday party or gathering of some sort I have needed to provide a map of how to get to my parents house. However, in the world of Web 2.0, embedding a map into an electronic invitation is much easier than having to draw the map from scratch myself. And if I knew the addresses of everyone that I was inviting, I could embed a map that shows the directions from their house as well.
