I like this App alot. This app totally wipes out all the difficulties in implementing a zoomable google-map-like photo. The purpose I used the app is for a map I have created for a game, and embed it to my website. I've gone through the process of many gmap custom making programs and codes, this app make it all so simple. All I have to do is upload my image (5000x1475, 2.2Mb), then TA-DA, the embedded code is there ready for use! A bonus from this app: you can zoom in and out directly from the embedded window, or you can click the icon on the top right corner to expand the image to full screen, yet still able to zoom in. Loading speed is superb. Highly recommend this app to people not as techie-geek like me who needs to share large images on the web.
