Question: What's the Best Use of Google Maps?
Yes, you can use Google Maps to find things. But you can also use it to make your own map, and if you know a bit of programming, you can use Google Maps info to power something completely new. This is how we get things like maps to poling places during election years or even maps as far out as Google Moon. Some mashups were made by Google and some were made by third parties.
So tell me what the best Google Maps mashup, blog, app, or other service is.
Answer: Does it fight global warming, help you get health access, tell you where the best beach spots are, or help you find your friends? It could even just be a blog with funny pictures from Street View. As long as it uses Google Maps in some capacity, it's eligible for nomination.
