The main principle of MapTube is that shared maps can be overlayed to compare data visually. For example, to see a map of the London Underground overlayed on top of a map of population you simply go to the search page and enter the keywords "tube" and "population". Then click on the two relevant maps to add them.
In this way any combination of data can be quickly and easily visually compared. The maps are created using our free of charge software - GMap Creator, a new version launches this week allowing any ESRI .SHP file or Formatted .CSV to be converted and used on MapTube.

It's a Googlemaps mashup that uses crowdsourcing to report problems to public officials and get them fixed. The start up is located in New Haven where the service is the most developed. There is it used by the Policy Chief, Police Lieutenants, Mayor's Office, Public Works, Parks Dept, the Town Green Improvement District and, of course, citizens.

This has potential for some really fine-grained mapping, specific to local place.
