A few months ago, I was looking for a way to map all of the artisanal cheesemakers in Wisconsin. I found a cool program called "Mapbuilder" and produced this. (Note that the content in the map comes from the Wisconsin Dairy Artisan Network. I am interested in artisanal cheesemakers for a research project. More about that later.)
Google's new "My Maps" makes mashups like this even easier. As a trial run, I created a map of all of the places I have lived. This modest effort does not begin to display the power of the program, but it's a start. I could add photos or videos or text to the entries on the map. I can make the map public (like this one) or keep it to myself.
My only problem with My Maps is that the promotion touts the ability to "publish your map to the web," but I couldn't find this feature.
