We have one as well -- http://guides.library.ualberta.ca/maps
I also would love to have feedback -- suggestions and ideas for
improvement are more than welcome.

     Angie,

     My libguide is accessible via lib.byu.edu <http://lib.byu.edu>.
       Just click on "Maps &
     Gazetteers" on the lower right.

     Once you get the page with my mug shot, you have the options of
clicking
     the various tabs across the top and searching for files and sites
     topically or geographically.  You can also click the "A to Z Resources
     in Maps" tab and search alphabetically.  I've been working on this
guide
     bit by bit every day, so its look may change slightly from one day to
     the next.  The tab with the most is probably Maps Online.  You'll
notice
     that some of the lists are Utah, Utah County, BYU, and LDS Church
     specific.  But others are pertinent to all.  Some of the links are
     getting pretty dated.  That's one of the things I'm currently doing.
     Trying to analyze the usefulness of some of these "archaic" sites.

     Hope this helps.  If you have any suggestions or criticism, let me
know.

     Thanks,
     Rick Grapes

     Hello,

     Does anyone use Libguides to promote their collections and services
     specific to their map/gis library? Will you share a link to your guide
     with me?

     Thanks.

     Angie
