Google Map Mash Ups

Being a Geography major in college, I'm especially drawn to the creativeness of the Google Maps Mashups people have created. I work with maps every day and enjoy finding a good Mashup and exploring it. If you are unaware of what a Google Maps Mashup is, it is when people take the Google Maps code and modify it by adding layers for example all of the pizza places in a city, or places you stopped on a trip, etc. The Mashup I want to introduce today is called Pediax. They have placed Wikipedia information on the map giving the map detail on up to 20 different cities at a time. Check it out, you can literally waste hours playing with these. Enjoy!
