Greg's Cable Map is an attempt to consolidate all the available information about the World's undersea communications infrastructure on a Bing Map. The initial data for the map was harvested from Wikipedia, and further information was gathered by simply Googling and transcribing as much data as possible.
If you mouse-over any of the displayed cables on the map a brief description is displayed at the bottom of the map. If you click on the cable more details are displayed in the map sidebar and links are given to relevant websites.

Autobiopic
Autobiopic is another Google Maps based tool to visualise your foursquare check-ins. The application animates through your recent check-ins on foursquare and returns the distance you have travelled.
To create your own Autobiopic map you just need to sign in with your foursquare account. You can pause the map animation of your check-ins at any time and use a slider control to move to any of your checkins. At each check-in Autobiopic will also display relevant information about the venue, city, date and time. The time of day is also reflected in the Google Maps colour scheme.
