Here's a nifty new DIY Google Maps tool called QuikMaps that has caught the attention of several hundred Digg'ers. A quick test drive reveals some new features including the "scribble" feature that lets you doodle right on your Map. The "text label" feature is pretty neat too; enter a text label, then drag it over the spot on the map you want it on. Add some nice looking map markers, save, then gen some code for your own blog or website. Nice creation tool. I especially like one of the comments from the Digg entry: "time to lay out the borders for the United States of Me..."

its a pity it doesn't work properly.
i've just lost 2 maps.
Due to high demand the website is having problems..
it was moved yesterday due the huge interest.
I stumbled across it a couple days ago and it was very easy to use.
