The Chilean google maps mashup.
Geocoding database of Chile is not supported by google maps, but in this website its really good database.
With Database on sourceforge.org project to public by GNU/GPL Licence
Google maps no tiene disponible para chile una base de datos de geocoding, pero en este sitio lo hicieron posible, pronto lanzaran en sourceforge la base de datos bajo licencia GNU/GPL, ademas contara con una api para que desarrolladores tengan acceso a estos datos que deberian ser libres.
Another great mashup in the "Restaurant" category:
http://www.realfoodfinder.com
Locates only organic food stores, cafes and restaurants (all over the world, but mostly on the west coast for now).
They don't have a huge number of LA venues yet, but the maps page at www.thursdayclub.com lists a number of bars and clubs.
Other cities (like NY, London or Sydney)seem to be better served, so I guess they don't get to LA much!
