Here's a Craigslist and Google map mash up so you can find housing and maps at the same time. Here's a Google maps sightseeing blog with some amazing photos. And lastly, here's what might be the biggest text on the planet.

I would love to figure out a way to integrate the functionality and feel of World Wind into a web element (much like the World Kit program, only more dimensional)
Please also add ATM Locator another cool google map mashup, locate atms by zipcode and bank name, results are far better compared to yahoo and google local search, certainly an interesting mashup http://www.locateatms.com
