Baidu illustrated the map of Shanghai quite brilliant. This is cooler and more sim city than any maps app yet. This must have taken quite some time :)

Cool! When will there be global coverage?
I'm waiting for that too, I'm also waiting for the more realistic water rendered in WebGL...
...just been browsing through the temple district probably :)
That looks really amazing. That must have taken so much time to do! 8-0
You know what would be a cool project: having an online sprite editor that uses a huge map. That way everyone could edit in a portion of the big map. If enough people work on it it could be something great. ;)
I like this a lot, but my favourite thing is that the glass skyscrapers have been textured with a photo texture that shows buildings reflected in them; buildings that don't exist in this city. :=
Oh you're right! Good eye!
