Google Maps

Google points way to Maps' code "Move OK's sites' use of feature to create their own services" By Peter J. Howe, Boston Globe (June 30, 2005) -- Google is promoting services to help programmers create "Google mash-ups" that employ Google's mapping technology.

For example, "... a site called dynamite.co.uk used Google Maps to offer a service that can show the locations of all current traffic jams and accidents around London."

Google also offers 3D through the new Google Earth and a feature that "correlates map grids with city skylines and topographical contours."
