Wikimapia - Fantastic!
Today I stumbled upon a really great site called Wikimapia. It’s a mashup based on Google maps that adds the capability to mark places of interest and add text describing each one including tags. You can then filter the list that’s shown on your map by particular tags like golf etc. and do searches. This is really slick piece of work and, judging by the number of places that have been marked already, really popular, particularly in India.
The really compelling feature of this is how easy it is to add a place annotation, you just click in the menu, move the box to where it is needed and fill in the name and other information. Your place then appears right there on the map. I managed to tag 7 or 8 places in Adelaide myself today including the infamous Britannia Roundabout, Paradise Community Church and Pino’s Pizzeria.
