Geography is our friend – Google Mashup

Google maps is changing a lot of things. Including looking for a house to rent or buy. By allowing developers to mash up information with Google maps, sites like Hotpads.com have been developed. Hotpads.com is my new best friend as we look for a house to rent in Portland, Oregon. I can see all the Craigslist rental properties and their geographic location. I haven’t even talked about how helpful Google street view is, i.e, the house may be nice, but it’s right next door to Walmart! Geography is our friend right?

You can see a recent post I did on the google map I’m creating for the new Portland Metro Campus Crusade for Christ team too. Could Google maps be helpful for you? How?
