In the past I've posted about some experiments I had done with Flickr Commons images on Google Earth and the Layar mobile phone Augmented Reality browser - see www.whatsthatpicture.com/2011/12/mapping-flickr-commons
I have recently also got a web version up and running using OpenStreetMap and whilst it's not quite as slick as I'd like it top be I thought I'd throw it out to you to get some feedback - see www.whatsthatpicture.com/flickr/commons-map.php
Note that for performance reasons it will only show 250 images at a time, but you'll always see at the bottom the total number of Commons images there are in the region displayed. To see more just zoom in and pan around. If you want a good region to try it out in I'd suggest heading to Ireland, as shown in the above screen capture!

EN:
Map of Tuscany showing (among other cities) Pisa, Livorno, Lucca, Pistoia, San Gimignano, Siena and Florence. The map is painted on a wall in the small town San Miniato. And, let's be honest, they kinda exaggerated the size of their own town :-)
NL:
Kaart van Toscane met daarop (onder andere) de steden Pisa, Livorno, Lucca, Pistoia, San Gimignano, Siena en Florence. De kaart is op een oude muur geschilderd in het plaatsje San Miniatio. En, laten we eerlijk zijn, de inwoners van San Miniatio hebben de grootte van hun eigen stadje lichtelijk overdreven :-)
For those of you who want to know where I took this shot; check it out in Street View!
Pratt Connector trail map from the Forest Service contract document.
Update 6 years later - This trail has been built and has been in use for several years now. It's a great walk and provides reasonably easy access to the Pratt Valley.

Metro, Subway, Tube, Underground. Different names for the same thing. Many cities have one and they all have maps so we can use them. Some are schematic, such as the London Underground Map, some are more geographically realistic, like the New York Subway Map, but they are all works of art in their own right. Now what if the cities of the world were linked by a metro system? Well that's what I've done here my with my artistic interpretation of a World Metro Map.
The design leans more towards the realistic style (New York Subway Map) rather than schematic style (London Underground Map). I felt this makes it visually appealing yet still easily recognizable.
The downside of taking the more realistic approach was evident in the dense area of Europe. It was difficult to choose the cities for this region due to the limited space available. Whilst some locations didn't make it to the finished artwork, I feel that the major historic cities of Europe are well represented.

Mounds of dirt, crowned with asphalt roofs, pock-mark the suburban wasteland.
