Since Google enabled developers to access their web services via APIs quite a few interesting things came up, and among all, Google Maps is probably the most hacked / tweaked / modded of Google's services.

There are probably hundreds (if not thusdands) modifications out there on the "maps" theme. How to track them all? How to quickly spot if there's something which might come handy one day?

No worries, the folks at GoogleMapsMania are taking care of monitoring and repording anything Google Maps related that pops up out there.

The site has also a number of reference links an how tos to get you started in understanding how things work behind the scenes with Google Maps.

If you're interested in making your own Google Maps mod, and perhaps being featured by GoogleMapsMania, then this article is for you.
