MapJunction: maps and media together at last

MapJunction.org is an open-source mash-up of Google maps (or other maps) and media, that you can save to a particular location. It allows saving projects, research, and even 3D data (in VRML format) in a socially-sharable way. The technology is based on mapserver, and seems to work well. Basically if you took a picture in central park, you can tag the photo to the park, so others who visit there can see what you've put there already. Seems like you could post all your favorite places around town on this app, so they will always be available when you or someone else needs them. Here is a version of 3D Boston (you must have a VRML viewer installed, Cortona is free for both Mac and PC). Pretty sweet indeed.
