A new generation of cartographers is using all the techno-power of the digital age to bring maps to life. With a click or two, our computers can transport us to far corners of the world with three-dimensional views. New mapping technology is changing the news business, the real estate industry, and the way some people think about privacy. Word of Mouth host Virginia Prescott talks about this with Jessica Clark, editor-at-large for In These Times magazine. She also directs the Future of Public Media project at the Center for Social Media.

I just found this Google Maps mashup. You can navigate a little, one-dimensional car around the city of your choice using Google Maps: http://www.phatfusion.net/googledrive/
