Google Maps Mash-Up

Bostonist usually tells you about the mash-ups that are kicking new tunes over at the Independent. Today, however, we were told about the newest Google Maps mash-up. Seth Fitzsimmons (co-founder of the dailyjolt.com) over at mojoDNA.net sliced and diced the panels he pulled from Google Maps with the maps he grabbed from the MBTA site. The result: MBTA bus lines and subway stops sitting on top of a nice clean map. The demo on his site is apparently in nice working order, though the site itself seems to be on the fritz. The ability to locate the best bus route is key, but it’s too bad Seth can’t do anything about making the buses run on time. If you’re both crafty and tech savvy Bostonist has heard about a site that might interest you. myGmaps is the two turn tables for your microphone. Thanks Rajiv Aaron Manglani for the tip
