hi there,
i would also like to add our site to your list. we have a general information site about the city of hurghada on the red sea coast in egypt. we depend heavily on a map we have created with the google API since Hurghada only has a handfull of street names and nobody knows where anything like hotels, restaurants, doctors etc is.
you find our site here...http://www.hurghada-information.com
we appreciate any comments.

May I also add my google map application in your list, too?
It is a mood map. Users submit color representing their mood at the moment. The system will generate a mood index every day based on the users' color. From the index, I can see how color is related to ppl's mood. Which region's ppl are happier? etc...

Are you doing any requests? The timeline idea is cool, but I'd really like to see a googlemap/time travel mashup. One way it could work is if you extended your timeline of "current events" into the future, using the soon the be announced future.news.google rss feed.
Hi
I just created a site where you can create "google-map-riddles" and try to solve riddles created by other people. You get a picture of a place somewhere on earth and have to find this place.

Hello,
I would like to submit my mashup to your list.
It's a google map controled by a header made in Flash, and a left panel also made in Flash.
It's a bidirectional Javascript-ActionScript talk. Through the Google Map you can launch mp3 Audios inside the Flash pane.
So far it's only in a Demo State as there is only one AudioGuide. Later it'll be fed up by a database backend system.

I have another mashup for your list:
http://misteel.com/network_map.asp
This is an Japanese/American steel company called Marubeni-Itochu Steel America Inc.
You can select different categories of services on the left and see locations that have that service. Mouse-over activated info boxes provide links to information about the services that the location provides, as well as a link to contact that specific location. The Network map is closely integrated with the contact form and the processes pages.

Wondering if you would post my site.

We just released a new site at TheSociety.com.
We've got a few great uses of google maps, including mapping the most elite vacation rentals in areas like Costa Rica, Telluride, Vail, and Destin.
We also have overlaid the best golf courses, ski resorts and restaurants near those homes.
Please consider my new website for addition to your mashup list.
The website is www.vpike.com and the title of the site is vPike.com - Your Virtual Turnpike.
The website features street views, directions and driving simulations for many metropolitan areas and airports in the USA.
Thank you in advance.

Your site is an amazing resource. I am incredibly impressed by the collection of maps and mashups here. I wasn't able to find a Food Map category, although I saw several Food Maps listed in the Travel section. I have a food blog with a map. The blog is http://www.familyoffood.blogspot.com. I'd list the map URL, but it's really long. Any advise on that?
Hello,

Maybe I missed the official announcement, but I just noticed that Flash Earth (http://www.flashearth.com) has dropped Google Maps from it's list of available sites. I'm not happy about this because it was so very handy to be able to switch between providers and compare data. Also, Flash Earth often had a different data set than Google Maps itself, and sometimes maintained newer data, even when Google reverted to older data.
Cheers,

Great site, keep up the good work.
Here's Google Map of businesses and services in Dublin, Ireland that I've been working on. Ireland doesn't have too many Google Maps Mashups. If you could include it in Google Maps Mania that would be magic. There chould be plenty more content for the maps section in the pipeline. Here's the URL:

Hello - just to let you know that we have updated the maps mashups on our site to include the Google Earth option now too.
Here's an example:
http://www.thursdayclub.com/maps
In addition, the 'nearby venues' on each venue review map now show different icons depending on the type of venue (bar, club, restaurant etc).
Many thanks,
Thursday Club team
Surprise! I have a new map to submit.
It's not technically clever, but the content is unique - it's a directory of log cabins to rent in the UK - over 200 of them. Hope you like it - www.logcabinsmap.com
Hi-We have a new mashup site that generates thematic maps for counties, census tracts, and zip code area in the US based on US Census data for anywhere in the US. If you want to check it out, go http://ctasgis02.psur.utk.edu/tokml.

Hi,
We have created a map (bookbymap.com)to support our 70 destination portals . The site is being populated now for some of the locations; "Lake Como" and "Torquay" for example. We aim to add as much information as is useful for visitors, with overlays and menus. Its a mysql, php/java site with self admin. Obviously we would like lots of people to see it, so here's the link:
http://www.bookbymap.com
We have developed what we believe is a unique application that involves Google-Maps... TrackHawk, a real-time circuit-racing solution.
There is a public site which describes the application, and how to run it, at http://www.trackhawk.com.
If you wish, you can go directly to the demonstration-site at http://www.cherrypoppinmusic.com/TrackHawk/Demo/indexST.html
Please ignore the request for a password -- that has been temporarily removed. This has been necessary to limit usage until we move to a new server able to cope with the load.
Here's a new one: find a yoga, dance, gym, or pilates center in New York City.

Hey all,
I've been mapping visitor/member addresses in conjuction with census data for museums (at http://c-3-d.org). Various basic summary statistics are also available about the demographics of visitors/members.
Example:
http://www.williams.edu/Economics/ArtsEcon/mappages/ChesapeakeBay/CBMM_members.htm
Also I've been mapping some social networks. Example:
http://williams.edu/Economics/ArtsEcon/mappages/MOCAMap/mocanetwork.htm
(the markers may or may not be working - I really shouldn't be downloading the pngs from google)
Finally I've been mapping some statistical regression results on the impact of museums on local housing prices. More specifically: estimated values in the price change of individual houses (and houses averaged by census block group) before and after the museum was opened.
Example:
http://www.williams.edu/Economics/ArtsEcon/mappages/DiaBeacon/DiaBeacon_housing.htm
I've got about 20 maps up at this point. Suggestions are always welcome!

Hello,
I recently submitted my Google Map of all Olympic Medallists, well, I've done one for all the paralympic medallists at the Beijing 2008 paralympics.
You can check it out at http://www.supernifty.com.au/paralympics2008.php
I'm a bit better organised this time, and plan to update the map with new medallists each day until the conclusion of the games.
Go paralympians! Those guys are just awesome.
I have one to, it a map where RC(Remote control) pilot can register, and write email via the map, it's called a pilot locator, and you can finde flying fields to. or hobby shops.

Hi there
I would like to register my google maps application called www.thedailycommute.com.au.
It works anywhere, where google maps has street directories.
The Daily Commute is carpooling solution with SMS communication and a carbon and fare calculator.
please get in touch with ridegreener@gmail.com if interested.
I would like to show my new mashup as well:
http://furiousnomad.com
furiousnomad.com is designed to be a functional display of creative expression on an expanding scale through the use of a map more rich than anything seen on any medium- one that rivals even physical tourism. This project was born of the belief that everyone's story is an integral component to a complete map of the world around us
What is it with maps on the internet? why is it apparently impossible to get a proper map of anywhere? I mean a physical map showing physical features and height asl like the UK Ordnance Survey 1:50000? All that seems to be available is sketches showing where hotels are or tourist offices or such-like. My search for a map of Norway on Google took me to a 3-inch map of Norway, showing Oslo and nothing else. Does anybody ever look at proper maps and not just, for example, sketches showing where the major hotels are in a town?
I found it is possible to get reasonable maps of Norway, but only by going to the White Pages telephone directory, which seems a strange way of going about it .
Id like to add this mashup. Its a map based restaurant/food search engine called Foodski.
http://www.foodski.com/
Hello there!
First of all thanks for such useful and interesting blog. Since the free webservice we're developing allows users to map events and tours we'd like to contribute to googlemapsmania by introducing mashups our users have made which can be found at
http://www.quovadislive.com/
As said users can map events and tours. But not only that. They can attach YouTube movies to any event they're mapping, embed maps of events in their webpages, download map data into their GPS and much more!
Check it out and let us know what you think!
Hi,
This is the blog I need, I guess, to reach contributers to the website I am developing. Please look at www.runtheribbon.com and share my dream!

Welcome to the treasure hunt that takes you all around the world
Many treasures are hidden somewhere in the world.
You will get 13 map pins to place on the map, on the spot where you want to dig for the treasure.
For each time you dig, you will get information that tells you if the current location is closer or further
away from the treasure than the previous one.
You should check out http://optifly.com - it's the coolest google maps and google earth mashup I've seen in a long time. You can use it to optimize and visualize flight routes. It even consider all low cost carriers from around the world.

Hi I would like to suggest a very cool mashup that maps all the salt water tide stations. The map clusters tide stations and displays the predicted Tide Chart, Weather, Sunrise and Sunset, Moonrise and Moonset, and Moon Phase Details.

Is there a map app that simply takes a list of zip codes and displays a USA map with markers for the locations? I found plenty of maps that do something if you enter a zip code, but I kinda want to go the other way. Enter a list of zips and get a map showing where they are geographically.
Many thanks.
