Century 21 Canada's new website is a complete Google Maps mashup. It makes Google Maps the primary browsing experience as you search for listings or agents at a provincial, regional or city/town level. The single page application allows you to easily filter location, price and other specs without page reloads and combination of the on map info-windows and sidebar present a LOT of information about the agent or a listing. This is a great new national real estate mashup that should definitely be used if you're house hunting anywhere in Canada!

The Niagara region of Ontario is not known only for one of the wonders of the world, but it's also home to many world class wineries. Actor Dan Aykroyd is among many who have recently invested millions in the region. Take a look at this helpful mashup to help you plan a wine tour for your next visit to Toronto, Ottawa or Niagara Falls! (More worldwide wine mashups found here!)

I did a story last year about Google Transit in Duluth and how much the DTA loves it. They really really love it.
I like the Century 21 new website it's very much like the onthehouse.com.au website I have been working on for the past 12 months.
It also uses Google Maps as the primary tool for searching for Real Estate in real time. You can then switch views based on your results from the Google Maps.
onthehouse.com.au is not a single page application like the Century 21 web site, but it does offer more.
The website has Private, Agent and property sold reports/listing into the Google Maps interface. Also the site has different view options for those who still like to view listing in the old fashion way (List View, Detail View and Tile View).
I must say that I like the photo display effect at the bottom of the Google Maps on the Century 21 site (It really makes the site). It seems to out do the lightbox effect used on onthehouse.com.au
