Default Google maps API

While fooling around with google maps API, I wrote a small script to
display all the airports I have flown into, extracted directly from my
electronic logbook. I thought it was pretty cool, and it was very easy
to implement. http://www.sarangan.org/aviation/airports_visited.html

Pretty neat. Is there a way to add a zoom slider so one can zoom in?

P.S. I can't believe you haven't made it to the east coast. The
Appalachians aren't that tall!

It works just like the regular google maps. The zoom and pan keys are
on the top left. You can drag the map with the left mouse key. Double
clicking on the map will re-center it.

Interesting way to show all the places you have been. The map looked
very familiar to me having learned to fly in New Mexico and Colorado,
and having lived in Illinois and Ohio since then. We've probably got
about a 50% overlap on airports.

Is this script something that is easy for someone else to run?

Thanks,
Eric
