Comments on: 12 totally awesome Google Maps

If you're looking for ways to waste some time, look no further than these 15 Google Maps. From barbershops to population density, we have it all.

Cool stuff, despite just a few really appealing to me. You're right on about The Weather Channel's layers - the only change that would really make it perfect is radar-in-motion, but I'll take what I can get - thanks for the call out!

Try out http://www.whatareyouwatching.uni.cc shows Television Viewership as it's being watched.

Click on the details button to see it all logged on a google map - in real time.

Really neat.

The Google Real Estate app pulls from Google Base, which is great, but it is far less complete than sites that are powered by data from your local MLS.

If you are looking for properties in <a href="http://C21AccessAmerica.com">CT</a>, <a href="http://search.charlesgaterealty.com">MA</a>, <a href="http://www.century21goldcountry.com">OR</a>, <a href="http://realestatenewport.com">RI</a>, <a href="http://century21nhr.com">WA</a>, <a href="http://c21jack.com">VT</a>, the <a href="http://www.uberrealty.com">Emerald Coast</a> or in <a href="http://floridainternationalrealtygroup.com">Miami FL</a>, <a href="http://searchlaffey.com">Long Island</a>, or in <a href="http://www.sandiegocastlesrealty.com">San Diego CA</a> you can search the MLS the same way you search for everything else -- with keywords, and the results are displayed on a Google Map.

The Best Nightclubs and Bars app is useless for the Chicago location. Not only does it list the worst offerings the city has, but it recommends clubs that have been closed for years!

Let's not forget <a href="http://www.naughtyreviews.com/massage-parlors/">this site which has maps of all the erotic massage parlors</a> in a city near you...It's awesome-ness, of course, depends on your individual penchant for such things...

Not a "pure" Google Map - but this map shows all the places visited on Diner's Drive-In's & Dives (on FoodTV). There are also links for some other food related shows form there.

I was fairly unimpressed by the Best Nightclubs and Bars. Only a few cities, just addresses, nothing more. That app needs a lot more homework both in coverage of USA and other countries, and in the info it holds per Nightclub/Bar.
Totally awesome? my ass! (girls keep telling me, hahaha).

Turns out Google also knows where to hook up no matter your location - we finally have a real use for geocoding - it's Google's latest service for the oldest profession in the world.
