Google has gone one step forward with it's mapping service and started www.WikiMapia.org.
All of us must be knowing what a "wiki" is. Anyway it's a public repository of knowledge where users are allowed to change/modify it as per their wish. For a better description you can go to www.wikipedia.org.
Back to wikimapia, it's a real wiki in the sense all the map details(locations ofcourse) can be changed as per your wish.So you can just put a caption for " my sweet home" on your building(if visible though) and send the link to anyone else who needs the navigation.
Moreover, the modifications are reflected on the site immediately. And it's observed that the whole earth is going to be filled up with "my sweet home"s only.
Though the maps are not of the quality that googleearth shows(sometimes different image altogether!) the site is extreamely fast.
It has been assumed that Goole is collecting the data users enter on the map and feeding it to their commercial mapping database at the back-end.Afterall this has been a Gogle strategy for years.
