What's Your Favorite (Map) Mashup?

I'm working on an article about mashups and would love to know about your favorites. You can use the Comments below or send me an e-mail at whom-71916@mypacks.net

(I'm using a disposable e-mail address to protect myself from spammers. Read how to get one in E-Mail That Gets Your Message Across.)

What's a Mashup?
You know what I'm talking about: Mashups take data from two different Web sources and tie them together to create useful things, such as an overlay of traffic information over Google Maps. (I find it especially cool if there's no inherent or natural connection between the two.)

For instance, HousingMaps combines Craigslist onto Google maps. Another mashup does the same for terrorist reports and Google maps.

Okay, now it's your turn -- send me your favorites.
