Let’s look at some REAL WORLD examplesOpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world’s streetsFasterBetter?More responsive (e.g. PSMA road/Address data: 6 month update cycle)providing a free, open digital map of the planet as a patchwork of contributions by individual volunteers – Volunteered Geographic InformationThe maps are created using data from portable GPS devices and other free sources. Users can also create new routes or update existing ones using the given editing tools.
This video animation illustrates the rapid improvement of Haïti coverage in Openstreetmap following the January 2010 earthquake. It shows coverage of the entire Haiti/Dominican Republic island, and illustrates the rapid worldwide mobilization of volunteer mappers to assist humanitarian workers on the ground.

When mapping first arrived on the web, it was all about driving directions. In the era of the mashup, we saw map tiles being used as canvas for a variety of websites devoted to data visualization and interaction. At Bing, we've been evolving to meet and accelerate the trajectory of these shifts, in the process enabling a broad sweep of new applications written by anyone, using data from anywhere.
