While we’re on the subject of Google Map and Google Earth overlays, Kathryn Cramer and her friends have been doing some interesting and important work on importing satellite data as overlays, and using this as a means to disseminate information about, and focus attention, on natural disasters. This information can be used to discover hill carvings of knights and dragons; but it can also (and this is Kathryn’s main point) bring home what’s happening in disaster zones such as the earthquake region in Pakistan.

Slightly off topic, but I saw Jarmusch’s Broken Flowers yesterday and was struck by the huge amount of Mapquest product placement.
