Google Maps + Wikipedia

108 words

It’s an interesting idea that Google Maps tries to integrate Wikipedia entries now. But I think this may need a little more fine-tuning to end up on the right side of the useful-vs-confusing line:

[Try it yourself]

I also didn’t have the impression that the larger Wikipedia icons represent more important points. The same holds for the new option to put photos right on the map. Great idea, just not fine-tuned enough yet. I also wonder whether this might push the Panoramio site even more than automatic integration with Google Earth does. I mean who wants flickr if their photos could be in Google Maps with another site?
