  Map - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Early maps were vague and there was often controversy as to where to centre the map - one world map, for instance, has Jerusalem at the centre.
Many maps have a scale, determining how large objects on the map are in relation to their actual size.
The most important purpose of the political map is to show territorial borders; the purpose of the geographical is to show features of physical geography such as mountains, soil type or land use.

Every map has a scale, determining how large objects on the map are in relation to their actual size.

 Swell Maps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Swell Maps were an British experimental rock group of the 1970s, that foreshadowed the birth of post-punk.
After recording their first John Peel session Swell Maps went into WMRS studio to record their first album 'A Trip to Marineville', which was released in 1979.

It offers draggable street map and satellite images for the whole world, as well as a route planner and business locator for the U.S. Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, China, the UK and Ireland (city centres only).

I'm not sure whether the map you produce from that digital data is more problematic as a second-order derivative work or as a copy of the original map (the intervening digital form doesn't keep it from being a copy any more than an intervening negative form keeps a photo from being a copy).

 Setpoint Originator: Wikipedia + Google Maps: Is WikiCity The Map of the Future?
Earlier this month I posted about Google Maps and Jon Udell's amazing screencast (required viewing!) of a GPS-drawn, space-annotated, media file over-layed walking tour of his town.
The second idea about pinning 3D environments to the map is also novel, as far as I know.
Just as Udell demonstrates pinning photos and video files to points on the map, interactive 3D files reconstructing real locations can also be attached to Google Maps.
