Bonjour liste,<br>
<br>
J'avais entendu parler du projet EveryBlock il y a quelques mois et
voilà maintenant que la possibilité de voir des nouvelles
"hyper-locales" sur une carte prend un nouvel envol :

cartographie web entièrement "open source". En furetant, j'ai retrouvé

<p>We live in the era of Google Maps. What started off as an impressive
refresh of Mapquest-style maps now fuels web mashups. With APIs
official and unofficial, Google Maps is simple enough for front-end

way to becoming nearly ubiquitous, it has played a major role in the “<a

of mapping</a>.” For the practical developer who wants to add
geospatial information to a site or application, the Google Maps <span

But, perhaps no longer. "<br>
