If you live in Chicago, you’re going to love this one. Adrian Holovaty has taken Google maps and figured out a way to lay the CTA (that’s Chicago Transit Authority to you tourists) over it! The CTA map isn’t perfect, but it’s pretty darn impressive. Find your location, click on CTA Map and voila, you can see where the closest bus stops and train stops are!
I know, I know, I keep going on and on about maps and traffic and satellites, but I think this stuff is cool as all heck. Maybe I should become a geography teacher.

How cool would it be to take this idea and apply it to a history class. Imagine Lewis and Clark’s expedition as an overlay with clickable links along the way highlighting important actions. You could work in photos of the area today using flickr. Or the students could add their own content. There are so many possibilities.
Just stopped by to visit and got the crunch on your stuff in here - bravo!
Great work with this one, nicelly done!
