Cool Maps

If you see a cool mapping application, mention it here.

Travel mapping by $$

Jackie found this one:

Type in your city and a price, and it maps the places you get to!

Ancient World Maps ("political" boundaries over time)

I found another one:
Map of the ancient world for students. Taking maps from UNC-CH, Sean Gillies georeferenced it and uploaded it as a layer in the ZCO demo

Some tiling systems

Here's a few tiling maping systems:

google maps (http://maps.civicactions.net/maps.google.com)
ka-map (http://www.dmsolutions.ca/services/maps.html)
another AJAX (http://maps.civicactions.net/)
a macromedia one (http://www.waterscape.com/Oxford_Canal/map/)

Google Hack - pictures of a university

earth comber

(this is very much like my original idea for storing pictures, and one of the web services I made for the MUM3 conference. But I like theirs better)

PDF maps

I've seen a few good PDF maps. There seems to be two types - ones based on images (which you cannot really zoom in on), and ones based on vectors (which you can zoom in on). There are hybrid ones too.

I find these 2 maps pretty accessible since you can easily zoom around on them.

Community Mapping

NY runner's mapping

This a simple little mapping application that lets you plot your running route on a map and then track your training. Very neat application. You can login as "guest" password "guest". If you zoom in you'll eventually see TIGER data.

This is probably the 1st real community mapping project I've actually ever seen/used. We should talk to these guys.

SmugMug
