Canada Google Maps Mashup Roundup Part 5

+ :
Royal Bank ATM/Branch Locator - The Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) has adapted Google Maps for their website by providing mapped results for ATM and Branch Locator searches. The tool lets you search by your present address or specific transit number (if you know it). RBC is also now Google mapping results for travel agencies that are offering their travel insurance products. French links: ATM/Branch Locator, Travel Insurance.
(Other Canadian businesses using Google Maps on their websites: Canadian Tire, The Keg Steakhouse and Bar, Pizza Pizza) Related: Google Maps for Enterprise
:
Toronto Star Google Maps Page - The Toronto Star has long been a global media innovator when it comes to using the Google Maps API. Their online team have dropped me a line to let me know that all maps they are displaying online have been centralized to this one page. These maps include: Toronto Traffic Cameras, Toronto Homicides, Afghan War Casualties, Toronto Marijuana Grow Ops. Another great Toronto Star Google Map (although not mapped from this page is: Toronto's Art Galleries.

Google maps is an amazing tool, but it's not the only one.

The
Atlas of Canada
is in many ways better than Google maps (for certain things, but only of course, for locations in Canada).

I have a short explanation of how to use the Atlas of Canada
on my website. Just now the Atlas of Canada website has some quirks, but if you read my explanation first, they will be no more than an annoyance (until fixed)

Not that I will stop using Google Maps - Atlas of Canada is complementary to Google Maps.
