You may have already discovered Google Earth.
Now, Collaboration through Wiki technology, Tagging and Google Maps. When together, what they mean? Well... here's the math: Wiki + Google Maps = WIKIMAPIA
What is Wikimapia all about?
Wikimapia is a new project created by Alexandre Koriakine and Evgeniy Saveliev aimed at "describing the whole planet earth". They have created an excellent way to accomplish this goal. Using a mixture of Google Maps satellite imagery, a "wiki" editing mechanism and tagging, Wikimapia lets anyone add or edit a description for any place on earth (without registering). It also provides a new, unique way of browsing Google Maps satellite images. via
We can now describe the whole world together. Wikimapia allows users to add tag and annotate locations found in Google Maps. We can add / tag, edit any place the way I have done.
