Holland Google Maps Mashup Roundup

More Google Maps mashups are surfacing in Holland recently. With the introduction of street maps to this country, it seems combining data with maps is something that is gaining in popularity there. Here are all the known Google Maps mashups for the Netherlands. If you know of any others please post a comment at the bottom!


Eyefi's Arjan Scherpenisse has created MarktKijker (English: market watcher) which is a Google Maps mashup for the Dutch auctioning site Marktplaats.nl and ebay.nl. He explains: "The site has a feature called 'marktprikker' (market pointer), which plots on the map where the items searched for are located. If you register at the site and enter your zip code, the site sorts the result according to the nearest distance to your location. Marktplaats is the second most visited site after Google.nl among the approximately 16 million people in Holland.

Veilingkijker is the Dutch meta search engine voor classifieds and auction sites.
Veilingkijker uses Google Maps to plot all ads on a map.
See for example the results for wooden shoes.

Tweedehands.net is also uing Google Maps. The first "buy and sell"-website in Holland that is using the technology to plot adds on a map. It is converting a zip-code to geo-codes.

An example: http://autos.tweedehands.net/volkswagen/maps/
