Google Maps profiled in NYT mag, because our location-awareness-everything future needs them

Well done and absolutely correct. There’s also OpenCycle maps for the bicyclers among us. There’s also an Open Weather map, and an Open Mountain Bike/Hiker maps. More out there, I’m sure, but those were the low hanging fruit. Also, there’s the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team where they do this:

The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team [H.O.T.] applies the principles of open source and open data sharing for humanitarian response and economic development.
And finally, there's the Open Source Geospatial Foundation which I add because it's related and I really like the word "Geospatial".
