Roundup of more mapping highlights
Google Maps
- GMaps Pedometer is another implementation of measuring the length of a path you click on the map
- Mobile GMaps is free software to display Google Maps imagery on Java J2ME-enabled mobile phones
- Google Maps Transparencies overlays a map directly onto the centre of a larger satellite image - which does show that the two do not line up exactly
- UPS tracking with Google Maps
- Scavengeroogle - a scavenger hunt to track down images seen at Google Maps
- Network Link - an explanation of the feed subscription and location based URL format used in Google Earth
- GoogleGlobe serves up Google Earth placemarks for user entered locations
- Chicago real estate in Google Earth format - its about a 500K file, updated daily, so they really should be using the compressed .kmz format which would cut the size to 100K
- GeoData from the German Wikipedia - covering about 2600 locations worldwide that have been geotagged in the German version of Wikipedia

Thanks for the link regarding our Google Earth plugin for Chicago Real Estate listings!
FYI, we would deliver the file as a .kmz, but Google Earth does not yet support pulling .kmz files as a network link. It sounds as if they'll have that fixed within the next week or so, and we'll update the service accordingly when it's implemented!
