GoogleMapia
Answers, Maps February 20th, 2008 - By HaochiGoogle recently created a My Maps application that matches Wikipedia articles with places on Google Maps, and shows summary of the Wikipedia in Google Maps. It seems like Google just pulling data out from Wikipedia (or maybe used one of Wikipedia’s database dumps). Similar wiki-mapping services such as Wikimapia and Placeopedia has been around for quite bit of time, but they are more like manually add/edit (the locations & info).

You don’t enter any keywords, you add that mapplet to your Google Maps and you click on the little gray circular icons.
