The Google Maps API are updated to version 2. From the official blog: "In conjunction with this launch, we've updated the terms and conditions for the Maps API. In particular, we've clarified and updated the two parts of our terms that have troubled developers the most: - No page view limits. Your site can get as many page views as you can muster. If, however, your site gets more than 500,000 page views per day, we ask that you talk to us before you launch so that we can prepare in advance to handle your traffic. - 90-day notice before any advertising-related change. The Maps API does not include advertising. If we ever decide to change this policy, we will give all developers at least 90 days' notice via this blog."

Go to Google Local and type in the search box, “booksellers nyc”. You should see a little coffee cup in addition to the little red ballons. Click on the coffee cup, and an ad appears for Barnes & Noble with their logo, hyperlink, street location, and phone number."

Today StrataVarious, Inc. announced it has released two new demos of its Boston HyperMap Atlas using APIs for MSN's Virtual Earth and Yahoo Maps. The Google Maps API demo was launched in October. Comparison charts of the three online mapping systems show how to install the APIs, how their GUI systems work, and how each API was adapted to the custom HyperMap client-side software.
