A new Google gadget lets viewers create maps of where presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain are traveling on any given day.
Viewers can also check out a candidate's search power -- Google has mapped how many times McCain and Obama's names are searched for online in each state. They also have maps of the candidates' life stories. Here is McCain's and Obama's.
The tool allows for easy use for embedding maps on personal Web sites. Here is guide on how to do it.
