Geocoding Canadian Addresses

Looks like there's finally a Canadian equivalent to www.geocoder.us - www.geocode.ca!

Now all I need to do is create my own cool zooming map of Port Moody with my own cool JavaScript viewer (so that I don't have to worry about Google Maps' Terms which allow for advertisements). Of course drawing circles and overlaying information on Google Maps looks very promising.

It looks like someone has been able to overlay their own tiles onto Google Maps - so that you can use Google's interface to show your own graphics. This same technique is used for a subway map of NYC. Too cool.

More: a tutorial on making your own google map type, and even a photoshop script to make all the tiles.

The updating map of where the trains are *right now* in Dublin is really cool.
