Movemap is giving me results but they don't seem to be following the legend.

I thought I saw a "Red Light District" map. For a moment there I thought I had a plan for this Saturday.

Can anyone else get the first housing "for purchase" mashup to work (grassisgreener.ca)? It keeps telling me there are no listings at all!

Posted by: Chris at February 8, 2007 1:30 PM

Hmmm... looks like grassisgreener is broken!

Posted by: Jerrold at February 8, 2007 1:40 PM

Wow, this is awesome. I especially love the public library locater. But that's because I'm a geek.

Movemap.com is also not working...

But this is brilliant all the same!

Thestar.com was an early adopter of GoogleMaps (now Google Local) for interactive news features. Most of our maps can be found at thestar.com/maps .

Three in particular have local interest:

  • GTA homicides from January 2005 to the present (three maps);
  • Our traffic map, somewhat different from the two you have linked above;
  • and and marijuana grow houses busted in 2006

    "I especially love the public library locater.

    Glad you like it, Sameer. All that cutting and pasting solidified my own geek status pretty well.
