Its not exciting or pretty, but does the job. However we thought it about time we ran a competition to develop the best Google Maps mashup. The rules are simple: use the JoM GeoRSS feed (http://journalofmaps.com/about.php?helpfile=smartyRSS.xml) and Google Maps APIs to do something interesting, useful, unique. The map can be designed to load in to the current space on the main page OR load in to a separate window. Every *legitimate* entry to the competition will get a printed copy of our 2008 Best Map (http://www.journalofmaps.com/about.php?helpfile=smartyBestMap.html). For the winner there is £200 payable via PayPal. The contest runs from now until 11:59pm on Thursday, 31 December 2009. Entry is straightforward: just email [log in to unmask] giving a grief description of the project and a link to the code or project home page. -- Dr Mike J Smith Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Maps (www.journalofmaps.com) School of Geography, Geology and the Environment Centre for Earth and Environmental Science Research Kingston University London Penrhyn Road, Kingston-upon-Thames Surrey, KT1 2EE, UK T:0207 099 2817 | F:0870 063 3061 OS X/Y:518098/168540 | Lat/Long: 51.403603/-0.303575 | TOID: 1000041424855 http://www.kingston.ac.uk/gge/staff/smith.htm
