All-inclusive Randomness

All sorts of uses of Google maps are continuing to pop up. One of my favorites right now is by Oodle, integrating the maps into a very comprehensive classifieds search engine.

Another recent addition in the map world is MSN’s Virtual Earth. I hate to say it, but it does have some neat features that Google doesn’t. For example, MSN actually offers an impressively detailed map of Europe and an almost decent map of Africa — these maps are still missing roads or any other infrastructure, but they do show even minor cities. And there’s more, like the ability to show your location on the map based on your IP address (i think).
