As tech questions are submitted, we'll feature them here on Tech Tuesdays at the Digital @ Leadership Network blog.
This question is about mapping apps on the web:
What I found on a quick search was the Google Maps Mania blog at googlemapsmania.blogspot.com, an unofficial Google Maps blog tracking the websites, mashups and tools being influenced by Google Maps, and this list of 100 Google Map tools & mashups from Mashable, the social media guide. One mashup map I have used is called Wikimapia, an editable interactive map that will describe places and buildings around the whole world.
What do you know about mashup maps? How have you found it useful for ministry purposes?
It's a fascinating world we live in, with more mobile phones becoming smartphones and becoming location aware. A few applications (apps) are being developed and I'd imagine more are on the way.
"Does anyone know of a wiki or other website that explains how
to do mapping -- what is a mashup? how to plot a database of locations on Google
maps?"
