Spotted in the Wild: Geowalk
(Well, not so much spotted as pointed out by Harald Kotte of Visicam. Thanks, Harald!)
Geowalk is a Google Maps mashup that takes a different approach from the ones we've seen so far. Rather than fill in the entire map view with a spray of events (or photos, news items, hotels, travel tips...), Geowalk displays a relevant list based on where you click. That way you can use the map as an overview and get detailed information by clicking around.

Update: JavaScript API
We released version 0.3 of our JavaScript API library today, introducing a few new fixes. You can read the changes file to see the version history.
Most notably, the library now supports the Opera 9 web browser. We have tested and confirmed proper operation in the latest Mozilla browsers, Internet Explorer 6, Safari 2, and Opera 9. The library is still in a pre-1.0 state, though, so if you use the library and notice any bugs or modern browsers in which it doesn't work, send us some feedback.
The JavaScript API library has inherent limitations with respect to authentication because the code is publicly exposed, but you can make simple API calls that don't require authentication with ease.
To start using the JavaScript API library, open it up and read the comments in the header.
Share it and enjoy!
