Sam Knows Broadband - Samknows.com is a UK website dedicated to tracking the progress of broadband across the UK. Their new mapping service Sam Knows Broadband can help find the fastest broadband connection that is available for your current address.
To use the map you can enter your address by search box or you can just zoom into an area and choose a street. Once you click on the road you live in and have entered your house number you are informed of the broadband options available for your home. The broadband speed is given for each of the available options as well as the names of the providers.
This is a really useful tool not only for checking the speed of service available to you but for finding out which broadband providers are available where you live. I never knew that I could choose from over twenty providers!
Tubejp - At present Google Maps only provides driving directions for London so this London journey planner could prove very useful for finding your way around the capital.
Enter a start and end point for your journey and the map calculates your route via underground, train or bus. The directions appear in a side panel and include the estimated time of the journey and the number of stops on the way.
UKPropertyVision is another example, similar to twittervision and Google’s own Google Maps Recent Edits Viewer, of a map that updates place markers in real-time.
The map uses the UK property search engine Nestoria to find homes to buy or rent in the UK and then adds them to the map in real-time. There is definitely something hypnotic in defining your location and price-range and watching the found properties appear and disappear on the screen in front of you.

The map’s interface is very simple to use, comprising of a simple drop down menu of different sea rise levels. Water level is then shown on the map by a blue coloured overlay. For example, a rise of two meters sees my street disappear under a sea of little blue dots.
