RenaLId.com :: Les 20 meilleurs mashups cartographiques français
by srcmax (via)
Cela fait un moment que je souhaitais vous présenter une sélection des meilleurs mashups "made in France". Je vous avouerais que la tâche fut rude. En effet j’ai souhaité mettre en avant les mashups cartographiques qui utilisaient le mieux la carte au niveau de l’interface.
Je souhaite donc vous présenter des sites français où la qualité de l’interface cartographique et les fonctionnalités ont été travaillées, apportant une vraie plus-value à l’utilisateur.
PiliPili est le site des bonnes adresses, des événements et des bons plans (bons de réduction) dans votre ville : Grenoble, Lille, Lyon, Rennes, Strasbourg et Toulouse. Interface agréable où la carte est utilisée de manière efficace. Mon avis : les résultats de la recherche sont clairement accessible sur la carte

MapJack
by PêUR & 3 others
Immerse yourself in panoramic views of Yosemite National Park; Chiang Mai, Thailand; and San Francisco using MapJack, a new alternative to Google Street View and Microsoft's Live Search Maps. MapJack has brighter, sharper photos than the others, and better navigation tools. To start exploring, just click and drag the icon of a person along the map in the bottom half of your browser; the photographic images in the upper portion will automatically refresh. Start-ups like Earthmine and EveryScape are developing similar next-gen maps, but for now, MapJack offers the best preview of the future of digital mapping.

by night.kame
Yes, we created our own maps for EveryBlock. We did this because it gave us more choices and greater flexibility than we would have had if we had made yet another Google Maps mashup.
