Play Risk Via Google Maps
bySince it’s introduction, people have done some very cool stuff with Google Maps via the use of the available API. We’ve seen Chicago crime stats, cheap gas prices, Washington DC Metro finder and just about anything else you could imagine using Google Maps. This is a great example of how opening your data and giving developers access with a well-written API can expand the reach of your original application. It also shows the creativity of developers when they’re given something good to work with. In the end, everybody wins
Speaking of winning, somebody finally built what the world has been waiting for, GMRisk, (the game of Risk via Google Maps.) Isn’t technology amazing? Who’s up for a game?
