Essential Resources for Google Maps
Last Update: 2005/11/19 - Added GChart - What time is it application.
Update: For voting your favorite (thanks to J. Shirley’s recommendation), I have created a poll at Lifehack.Community. Cast your vote and feel free to recommend more implementation and I will add it on the poll list!
Google Maps is one of the web technologies that take the web to the next level. When Google introduced Google Maps with searchable and pannable interface, and recently released the API for adding implementation on the map, it creates many interest from users and developers.
Now information on the web does not need to bind to “what” and “how” already. Your piece of information can be also represent “where” with Google Maps.
For our readers, I want to provide some greatest implementations on Google Maps, to speed up your retrieval of information on “where”. This is the essential top resources for Google Maps.
If you got suggestions of other tools and resources, feel free to recommend. I will add them to the list if I see fit.
Top 10 Google Maps implementations:
CheapGas
“Getting best prices in your city. It is comprised of 170 gas price information web sites that help consumers find low gasoline prices. Powered by GasBuddy.”
Geobloggers
“geobloggers is a site that’s built upon two great technologys. Google Maps takes care of the mapping side and Flickr takes care of the image hosting, scaling, and so on. geobloggers mushes those two together.”
Gmaps Pedometer
“This is a little hack that uses Google’s superb mapping application to help record distances traveled during a running or walking workout.”
Google-Yahoo Traffic-Weather Map
Combined with Yahoo Traffic Feed with Google Map to show traffic condition.
Weather Bonk
“Weather maps lets you view real time weather information on a google map. This can provide some very interesting information, particularly in areas with microclimates, such as San Francisco. For example, summer in San Francisco can be particularly cold and foggy, and this map can help you to find a sunnier area of the city to visit. Clicking on the web cams give you a visual observation from a given location. Looking at wind direction can help you locate approaching weather fronts.”
Global Coordinate
“The idea behind globalcoordinate.com is to take a number of common but different web applications and put them together. You will find here an atlas, weblogs, photo-blogs, travel guides, weather reports, news sources, etc. The objective is to let users find the synergies between these concepts.”
Cell Phone Reception and Tower Search
“Consumers can search for the best carrier in their area. And with our graphical tower location search, users can pinpoint nearby tower locations. Even to the exact rooftop with satellite imagery and the help of Google Maps!”
Housing Maps
Powered by Craigslist. This Google Maps visualize where to buy houses, rent rooms around US
Tagzania
“Tagzania is about tags and places. If you register and log in, you can add places, points, to create and document your maps. When you add a point, you may tag it with keywords. That way, Tagzania is not only a place to build and keep your own maps, shared territories are created as well.”
Gchart
Quick way to find out what time is it around the world.
Worth to mention:
ChicagoCrime
“This is a non-profit, freely browsable database of crimes reported in Chicago. It is not affiliated with the Chicago Police Department or with Google Maps. It is not an official source of crime information for the city of Chicago. Rather, it is an alternative view of public record that is available elsewhere. At any given point, this site contains crime-report information spanning a 90-day period. After 90 days, the crime data is removed.”
gWiFi: Using GoogleMaps to find free WiFi
“This website is an attempt to make it easier for the road-warrior’s, students, free loaders etc to find locations that offer free wireless internet access in the New York City area by showing all free wireless nodes on a Map of New York.”
Track visitors to your website using Google Maps
“Lets you track the visitors to your website using Google Maps.”
Earthquakes in the last week
“Earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in the last 7 days. Click on the menu bar to choose a new map view or create your own view by clicking to re-center the map and then zooming in to get a closer look. Click ‘link to this page’ and then bookmark the new url so you can return to your new custom view.”
Whereis
“Geolocate where the server is on Google Maps from an URL.”
ZippyWeather
“Live Australian Weather.”
Road Sign Math
“How many road signs are there that have mathematical significance. I’ve looked at many, and there are very few. Road Sign Math is the game of finding road signs that have math in them.”
toEat.com: Where do you want to eat?
“toEat.com aims to be the central point for hungry people and restaurants to congregate. Our first release is the restaurant browser system, which is only a small piece of what is on the toEat.com roadmap.”
beenmapped.com
” Never forget the location of that awesome place again. Bookmark it on BeenMapped.com!”
HotMaps
“HotorNot + Google Maps = Finding Hot People (Male or Female) by Zip Code”
Tools:
gMap it!
“gMap it is a mozilla Firefox extension that allows you to find directions from google maps based on publicly listed phone numbers.”
Mobile GMaps - Google Maps on J2ME mobile phones
“Mobile GMaps is a free piece of software that displays Google Maps and MSN Virtual Earth maps and satellite imagery on Java J2ME-enabled mobile phones or other devices.”
MapBuilder
“MapBuilder lets you build your own map with number of location and generate GoogleMap source code for this map. So you will be able to paste it directly into your web page and use it with your API key requested at Google http://www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html. After creating your own map you will be able to save all locations with related information for future use. It means that you’ll be able to make some improvements for your map later.”
HOW-TO: Make your own annotated multimedia Google map
“This how-to will show you how to make your own annotated Google map from your own GPS data. Plus, you’ll be able to tie in images and video to create an interactive multimedia map. We’ll walk you through the steps we took to generate an annotated map of a walk we took recently through our hometown, now that it’s actually starting to get warm enough to want to walk about!”
Hacking Maps with the Google Maps API
Great guide on Google Maps API and how to make your own map implementation
MapKi
“This is meant to be a forum for sharing ideas, implementations, and help for the Google Maps API (http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/). Any user can add to or edit any of the pages on the site, just like any wiki site.”

Shameless plug: http://www.toeat.com
We should bug Ian (guy who runs Mapki) to setup a “Favorite Hacks” page that lets people vote.
And I also have to say that my top-favoritest hack has to be chicagocrime.org or busmonster.org — which aren’t on this list, and really should be. As others have mentioned, plagarism also calls this list into question.
Leon says on August 19th, 2005 at 1:11 am
Thanks for the recommendation. I will take a look at them one by one!
This is solely based on my opinion on what I have gathered from the past, so point to me anything that worth to mention and I will review it!
A reader mentioned: “Tagsania is a plagiraism of beenmapped.com”, but I cannot find too many similarities between it. What do you all think?
But for readers’ favorite - Thanks to J. Shirley’s recommendation, I have made a poll at Lifehack.Community now. Vote your favorite and feel free to recommend more implementation so that I will add it on the poll list!

I posted this to the lifehack site, however, I thought a repost might be a good idea.
I’ve found another traceroute/Google Maps mashup. This tool allows you to traceroute by IP address or host name to see the path the packets take. You can run the trace from their server or from your PC. It’s pretty slick, and has some settings you can tweak for doing the traceroute. It also can also do “whois” queries when you click on one of the hops (to find out that hop’s IP). And if you just want to know where any particular computer/server/IP is you can also type in the IP or host name in their ping tool and find out if the host is up, where it is, and get the “whois” record. Seems like a very useful site/tool.

If you are a runner and like GmapsPedometer, check out America’s Running Routes at http://www.usatf.org/routes. It provides the same mapping functions as Gmaps but it allows you to save it for others to use. There are over 18,000 routes now in the database. It’s the place to go for running routes when you are traveling.

The purpose of this Google Map is to show how connected an African country is based on total population, number of internet users, 2005 growth in user-base, overall population penetration, and landline/cell phone usage.
I’ve set the map up so that each country is actually an individual blog post. That way, if, for example, you know of any internet cafes within a given country, you can add your comments to the post and it will be accessible via the map.
