Google Maps Mania: Open letter to the media: Use Google Maps!
One of the original Google mappers now has a full time job as a result of his map:
"The Washington Post certainly thinks that it will be well positioned to venture into this new era of creative web news presentation. Seeing the value in Google Maps mashups, they went out and not only hired 23 year old ChicagoCrime.org Gmaps masher Adrian Holvaty, they even created a new position for him! - "Editor, Editorial Innovations". This creative insight already puts the Washington Post way out ahead of the rest."

Google Maps Japan Trivia
The small icons embedded in the Japanese version of Google Maps are not advertisements.
The product manager for Google Maps Japan explained to me that many streets in Japan have no name and therefore landmarks and businesses play a big part in giving directions. For example: "take B5 exit of Shibuya station, turn left at McDonald's, and our building is 50m ahead, with Dotour Coffee on the first floor."
