It is a google map with a timeline mashup.
You navigate to where you want via the map and at your destination you get a timeline of current events.

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.

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...

Great site. I'd like to recommend my site, TennisMaps.com, be added to your list. It is a growing map of tennis court locations in the U.S. Users can submit comments on the courts and create new court locations.
I would like to submit http://www.okfairway.com to your list. The site allows you to find Ontario golf Courses quickly it also has integrated driving directions and local weather.
I would like to submit my Google Maps mashup showing Sales that are NOW ON on the high street and in stores all over the world. Any corner shop, wholesaler or multinational can add their sales event free - Someone somewhere is always having a sale, so check out the locations on the Saleseller mashup and go and see the goods for yourself.

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.
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.
Here is the link: http://www.placespotting.com/
Hope you like it :-)

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.

Sergey. Thx!
Nice website! Lots of great stuff.
I would like to suggest my map. It´s a map for mountain biking trails, routes and street/trials spots in Brazil, located at www.pedal.com.br/trilhas. The marks are related with the website content, like text, photos and videos.
It´s in portuguese and hopefully will have some international spots soon.
Keep the good work,

Thank you for introducing my previous two maps (Video maps in Japan & Queenstown picture map ).

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.

It's pure Google Map, unless of course you are a no script browser.
The map takes up the full browser space and uses a window pane for information.
Thanks for looking,

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.
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.

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:
http://maps.dublinbynumbers.com/
Cheers,
Andy
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
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
There is also a free and open source program to convert Census TIGER files to KMLs at http://tnatlas.geog.utk.edu
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
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

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!

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 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.
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
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 .

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!
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.
I would like to suggest my newly created web site for geolocated tourism guides sharing: http://www.uaemon.com. Text and audio guides can be uploaded. Audio guides can be played online or downloaded to a windows mobile device and then played automatically when you reach the places.
Thanks a lot for your attention

just posted about a "physical mashup" I did between googlemaps and the on-demand card printing service from TouchNote.com
http://blog.thecodingfrog.com/2009/07/google-maps-and-touchnote-mashup-google.html
The principle is simple: select a map on Google and then make a TouchNote out of it !

The website is blockwild.com and it utilizes a local map to post, search and discover location-based, community-generated content like events, social groups, classifieds ads, jobs, real estate & rentals, and Yelp reviews.
It's a great resource to see what is going on around you.

There have been 4,827 posts so far on Google Maps Mania. With a lot of posts having had more than one post I would guess it must be over 7,000.
ProgrammableWeb is a good source of statistics for API use. They have 2241 Google Maps mashups listed.
This site uses Twitter for real time bird sightings in the UK, using the hash tag #ukbirdcount and displays these tweets on the google map. It even changes the colour of the marker depending on the bird 'list' status.
