Google Map of Egyptian Protests

Aljazeera: Mapping Egypt's Day of Wrath

Aljeezeera are using Google Maps to provide up-to-date information about the geographic spread of today's protests in Egypt.

The website of Aljeezeera is displaying two maps, one that shows the location of protest locations in Cairo and the other showing the protests being held elsewhere in the country.

The maps are also accompanied by the video above which also uses Google Maps satellite imagery to provide some context about the locations of the protests.

The New York Times has a good map of the protests and important building, with links to photos:
