GEO 2.0: 124 ways to map, track & navigatepeople, places, experiences, content, media & news - globally - locally & extraterrestrially

Map mash-ups are among the most visible, attractive and popular phenomena in Web 2.0. The list below is limited to the purest examples and to enabling softwares & applications. You'll find many more applications in the other categories of this index, and some more indices in ABOUT 2.0.

There are not that many web sites striving to go beyond the mere fun of geo location. I expect more business cases to evolve around geo location once the telcos and cell phone manufacturers start offering standardized location based data roaming and services.
