To accompany the public launch of lonelyplanet.tv, we at LP Labs are also excited to announce that we’ve widgetized Lonely Planet TV’s maps. The result: with very little effort, you can put a map of lonelyplanet.tv videos on your website or startpage.

At the moment we support 4 different widget formats:

1. Widgetbox
2. Google Gadgets
3. Netvibes
4. Generic <iframe> code that you can copy and paste into your site.

While there are a few ways to get your own widge, by far the easiest is to go to lonelyplanet.tv, find a map you’d like to put on your site / start page, mouse over the blue [+] icon, and select either Widgetbox, Google, Netvibes, or Embed. You will immediately be taken to a page where you can do such things as change the map size, modify the contents, or tweak the Google Map settings.

If you prefer to setup your widget from scratch, you may head directly to either our own embed page, or visit our gallery entry in the widgetbox. Here’s an example in action, showing the most watched videos in Europe:
