This would be a nice future feature.

Ability to create a map. It would consist of the following things.

1. Create a new map and give it a name (this creates a unique url for that map). Ability to add a description too.
2. Pick from your published forms which data sets you want to include in the map. Each map would be represented as a data layer. You can pick a label for each form and a color for the icon it would show up on the map.
3. Pick from a list of map layers what you want the underlying map to be (google, custom tilemill from mapbox, etc). You could also copy and paste in your own link if you wanted.
4. Publish Map

The publish map would just be the map with the different layers showing up as different color icons. You would be able to toggle on and off what features you want.

Advanced feature - Provide JS code to allow someone to embed this in another site.
