Why Google Maps is cool

this isn't really related to anything I normally discuss here, but I was startled and delighted to see one use of Google's Maps page, now in beta. On Jon Udell's blog, I found an excellent flash of his Keene, NH walking tour, which uses GPS to place waypoints on Google's beautiful online map, complete with links to pictures and videos of the sights. I can't wait til we're all blogging this way.
