Things that could be done with maps:

maps rotating on a cube
aeroplane battles over a map - 2 networked people trying to shoot each other's plane, flying over a google map
a better im interface where people are avatars, can "meet" in different places in the world and they would talk via comic-books style bubbles
collaborative, networked treasure hunt i.e. some people "hide" things in a selected/limited area (e.g. a city) and other people search the map to find those things
overlay foo data over a map:
- movie theaters + info about which movie is being played as a pin/blob on the map
- places where famous people (e.g. writers, painters, musicians) died/were born
- places where famous people commited suicide
- map info from social networks
- map all contacts from outlook
- places where some famous serial killer killed people
an easy way for people to produce annoted maps and export them e.g. to their weblogs
- someone could map all their places they lived in chronologically and export it as a flash movie with controls for forward/prev
- someone could map the place they live right now
- someone could map a trip they did
- someone could map their frequent route (e.g. home->work)
