UK Google Maps Mashup Roundup Part 8

Museum of London: Map My London:

The Museum of London has created a very unique and thoughtful Google Maps mashup that allows you to "Map your London Moments". Here is a description from the membership confirmation email: "..Map My London will allow you to browse the memories of others or get mapping your own London. London as you remember it! The site is provided by the Museum of London and aims to collect Londoners' memories, experiences and associations of the city. You can tell your story in text, images, sound files or video clips." You can add and browse the memories by these categories: Love/Loss, Fate/Coincidence, Beauty/Horror, Joy/Struggle and Friendship/Solitude. This is a great way for a museum website to facilitate the collection of personal accounts. I can envision generations of people visiting the museum's website in the future browsing these memories and wondering what it must have been like to live in the time that we are in today.

BMW's 1Off: Mapped reviews for UK cities:

To promote the new 1 Series BMW has created a Google Maps powered site for a young urban audience to explore bite-sized, handpicked reviews of experiences in UK cities (London, Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham, Cardiff and Glasgow). "1Off" is a slick, glossy site which includes celebrity interviews and podcasts, local reviews of little-known gems, and community forums. Nice integration of Google Maps throughout, including direct links to http://maps.google.co.uk for directions and map printing. Google Maps integration also lets users get a bird’s eye view of their city’s treasures, as well as find their nearest BMW dealer (of course) to take the 1 Series out for a spin! (This site was created by Airlock with PR agency Slice and Emap).
