SL map API - anyone using it

[animats]

SL has a map API. Are there any interesting applications of it?

Many vehicles, primarily boats and some aircraft, use it as a "GPS screen where they show the map image of the sim you are currently in. Also, Kelly Shergood has plugged into it *very deeply* - as you fly or boat around using her GPS system, you can actually track yourself across the grid. You can zoom in and out and see all the registered airports and ports.

Look for any red airplay or boat icons on there - watch them move. If you go to the spot in world you will see it is actually someone driving a boat or flying a plane or helicopter.
