Google has a neat little application for viewing their maps on your Windows Media enabled mobile phone.
The quality of this photo is a little lacking, and my screen is somewhat better than it appears in this picture, but I'm pleased to say that much of the functionality of the web version of Google Maps is available in the mobile version.

In the early 1940s the village of Derwent in Derbyshire was demolished to make way for Ladybower Reservoir. I have combined a 1924 map of the village with an aerial photo taken from Google Maps to show where the village lay in relation to the current landscape. I wasn't sure of the best way to display it, so this photo has a bit more map and a bit less photo!
Eight days (seven nights) in the Beartooths, starting at Island Lake trailhead on July 31 and coming out below Lady of the Lake on August 7. Backpacking in red; day hikes in purple. Black dots are campsites and lunch stops.
1) Pack from Island Lake trailhead to Becker Lake, enjoy early evening storm;
2) Dayhike to Echo Lake, Lonesome Lake, and Albino Lake;
3) Pack to Pleiades Lake by Crystal Lake;
4) Pack to plateau SW of Desolation Lake;
5) Pack to Fossil Lake;
6) Pack to Rough Lake and Lone Elk Lake, loaf around;
7) Early morning dayhike in the drizzle to above Rough Lake, turn around, and pack down to Lady of the Lake;
8) Pack out to trailhead.
Trip should have included some time in Skytop Basin above Rough Lake and below Granite Peak, but events conspired otherwise.
Sometimes google maps gets things wrong. Nothing important obviously, but if you take a look at this bit of the map.... Look at the little details... Squint your eyes and concentrate now...
Vauxhall station is on completely the wrong side of the river! (This was since fixed but only after several months of wrongness)
Obviously that's a pretty serious navigational problem. Do you link to google maps when you email a friend with directions? Are you using google maps on your website? If you do this in the Vauxhall or Pimlico area you may not be being as helpful as you thought you were. Maybe it's time to use a better map, the open licensed map from the London-born not-for-profit OpenStreetMap.

But I wonder where were you
when I was at my worst down on my knees
And you said you had my back
so I wonder where were you
When all the roads you took came back to me
So I'm following the map that leads to you
A Map, for a workshop last week. Mapping of oneself as a designer. I kind of decided to do the mapping with emphasis on the playing around with graphic layouting and the form of the map. A lot of glue-stick went in to this one as I did it all by hand on a A2-sheet of paper. It was a nice sunday-fun.
