I’ve been trying to snatch this code from somewhere… so I was pretty happy to find it. But also very impressed with the site that I snatched it from: projectX - It looks to me from the code that it uses GoogleMaps API. But the maps are provided by Terralink. Taking a look at smaps and ZoomIn, I notice that if Google Maps API is being used, it has been substantially extended. Though I’m not particularly sure why - I guess to allow Terralink to provide it’s resources to mapping New Zealand.

I am also impressed that the applications run Ruby-on-Rails. Not because I have any grasp of the technology - but everyone on slashdot was talking about it… So it must carry some weight. And it runs on Linux in an httpd called ‘Mongrel‘. That’s cool.
