    MARSBest annotation: 'Ah, finally - a map system that does it all. This free service offers detailed street and terrain maps, robust locator tools to find addresses/businesses/places, and a route planner for traveling by car, public transport, or walking. Live traffic conditions for several cities are available as well. For those who need visual cues, Google Maps provides that too. Its fascinating "Street View" shows 360° panoramic street-level views, inviting users to virtually walk and explore the area. This is available in many U.S. cities and in several countries abroad. There is also a feature for those wanting to create their own maps. No more fumbling with folding paper maps, just click on this great site.'

    This is a beautiful site, with a collection of 21,000 digitized historic maps, drawn from atlases, textbooks, children's books, wall maps, and more. Although the focus is primarily on the 18th and 19th century Americas, maps from other parts of the world are included. Digitization began in 1996, but new items are regularly added. The collection can be browsed or searched, and results are viewable on a variety of applications. The default Luna browser presents a scrollable image with detailed metadata and notes. Subsets of maps can be viewed on Google Maps, Google Earth, or in Second Life. Registration allows users to set preferences, create groups and slideshows, and save their work.

    MARSBest annotation: 'This site is a resource that has grown over the course of 15 years from a site focusing on the metro system in Barcelona to a site called “metroPlanet” to its current incarnation with an international scope and convenient, easy-to-use maps of urban railway systems in the world’s largest cities on 6 continents. Users will mainly appreciate UrbanRail.Net for its quick, simple maps, but the site put together by a Berlin public transportation enthusiast and historian also features practical information such as transit pricing, links, and timelines of transportation history for each rail service or line.'

    MARSBest annotation: "Using Macromedia Flash maps, satellite imaging, and links to secondary web sites, Maps of War highlights the history of war. The author, a self-proclaimed history buff, "wanted to create something that showed the 'Big Picture' of war instead of the battle-by-battle view we always see through the narrow spyglass of the mainstream media."
    The Maps section contains animated presentations on subjects like the spread of democracy or religion in the world. In the Library section, the web site links to other authoritative maps and web sites, including Amnesty International's Eyes on Darfur and the BBC's site for mapping violence in Baghdad. Flash software is required."

There are nine main maps on this web page, each one approximately ten times the scale of the previous one. The first map shows the nearest stars and then the other maps slowly expand out until we have reached the scale of the entire visible universe'
