[postgis-users] google map mashups

[Robert Burgholzer]

Interesting site that chronicles map mashups (forgive me if this is
commonplace to the users of this list), using an API published by google
-- featured in the New York Times today. Web site developers can use XML
and javascript to create custom annotated maps using googles engine on
their own site. Perhaps this would be appropriate to the mapserver list
serv moreso than PostGIS, but it seems that a technology like this could
easily be implemented with the help of PostGIS.
