Live Webcams - Dublin, Ireland - Here's the first known Google Maps Mashup in Ireland. It displays web/traffic cameras around the city of Dublin. If you're a Dubliner and you know of other cameras around the area that this person can add, there's a link at the bottom of the page to suggest your location to be added to the mashup.
Webmaster shows site visitors on Google Maps - The webmaster of Furiousity.net has been able to hack together a map which shows the location of visitor's IP addresses hitting his website overlaid on a Google Map. He was able to use the 'ip->location' info available from hostip.info to plot the locations of visitors.

Find a taco truck in Seattle - There will come a time when I will stop posting these mashups that only affect .0001% of the visitors to this blog, but until then, I hereby present to you the Taco Truck Finder for Seattle, Washington, USA. :)
In other news, here's a blog focusing on Google Maps in India, and check out the BlogsNow tracker which shows the most linked-to Google Maps locations within various blog posts.
Enjoy!

These are indeed cool. The Dublin webcams map, though, should use something other than the default red Google map indicators. Instead, they should use indicators with arrows to show which way the camera points. That way people using the webcams (at least those of us unfamiliar with Dublin) can tell what they're looking at. I believe the Google API allows for other images to be substituted for the indicator.
I thought of that but most of these Web Cam are traffic cameras where the direction changes continuously during the day depending on where the Dublin Corportation Traffic guys decide to point the camera at. I think I might change the marker icon to show a Camera rather than the default though.
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that the source to my ip->location map is now available at http://furiousity.net.
There's a little link on the side that is a link to a tarball. It's just a couple of php files and a readme, and you should be able to get it up and running in no time.
