Re: Coming soon: Indexing of Maps API Applications

Here's a question I have not seen raised:

I include my maps largely as part of larger reports or articles by
putting them in an IFRAME. Although the map routine which is the
source for the IFRAME can run stand alone, it would make little sense
to index that URL, since the context and background information is in
the main routine. So what does it do? Index the map routine's URL or
the "top" routine's URL?

Thanks
