Through Google Maps companies and consumers can now make their own maps which don't just show specific locations (like ATM's, cafes or fashion shops) through the well-know water drops: they can also give characteristics or even interactivity to complete geographical areas. The example shows the 2007 Australian elections (mf, Dutch). Through this we better and better map the physical world, and at the same time determine what we want to see ourselves. Now in 2D on the computer, later in 3D on the mobile phone. Nature, objects, people, plants, and animals: we all map them real-time. Now we still need to actively browse and click through maps, in the future we can just ask, and it will appear on demand.Google Maps offers lots of possibilities
