This is cool...sort of

It seems that we aren't the only people getting to grips with the Google Maps api...the usual enthusiastic development wave surrounding Google has generated maplets which are overlays availabled from

http://maps.google.co.uk/

...go to 'My Maps' and you'll see a growing list of maplets which point you to various differnt map based information. My current favorite (as pointed out by Eng Wei) is the crop circles maplet. If you select a crop circle then zoom in and select the hybrid view you can actual see the crop circle as seen by Google Earth, which is uber geeky but a perfect deployment of a Google maplet. Also make sure you check out the Firefox logo which was cut into a crop circle just before Google did their thing so it's immortalised on G.E forever.
