Google Maps gets more useful

Chicago crime map
Google Maps exposes some hooks so that web developers can integrate them into their applications. For instance, here’s one that displays housing classifieds from Craig’s List on a map. But Chicagocrime.org’s takes the cake. It maps where crimes take place in Chicago. You can filter by date, time, district, and type of crime. So if you want to know where to find a prostitute or a drug dealer, or more accurately, where they get arrested, just filter it.
