Google Maps - Liberty City
Saturday, May 17th, 2008
With the recent release of Grand Theft Auto IV, what is looking being the best selling game of all time, it is only to be expected that Internet followers will be utilizing Web 2.0 technologies to bring about a worldwide community of fans of the game. One of the most interesting I’ve found is the Map of Liberty City, which was assembled by the site’s registered users, that uses the technologies provided by Google’s Google Maps service.

The map is very detailed with markers locating pretty much every point of interest including missions, restaurants and places where multiplayer games can be started. Wouldn’t it be great if items such as this could be accessed within the game? I think the days when actual Web 2.0 apps are integrated within games (the consoles of which are all already hooked up to the Internet), will be a real step forward for technology mashups.
