Does a Big Week for Google Maps News Mean a Big Week for GIS Practitioners?

If you kept one eye on your work this week and another on tech news, no doubt you read that Google now includes a terrain button alongside map and satellite (replacing hybrid, which is now part of satellite) in Google Maps; offers collaboration and KML file support in Google Maps; and offers non-GPS locating called My Location in Google Maps Mobile. What does it all mean?

Ed. note: Today is the last day to take our 2007 Reader Survey. We value your input to help us make our publications better. If you have not taken the survey we invite you to do that now and also take a chance on winning gift certificates ranging from $25 to $100! Thank you!
