Cool map that is not Google
FreshLogic and Microsoft Virtual Earth have teamed up to create Atlas, which offers several cool Google Map like features. These include traffic, movies, events, gas prices, WiFi connections and several others. All of these features are integrated with the map which can be viewed as aerial, road map or a hybrid of the two.
Living in Houston, traffic is a very useful feature that allows me to see what traffic looks like before I head home after work. Atlas will will show where the wrecks and slowdowns are along my route. It looks like it is tied in to Yahoo!’s new traffic maps. They also will show gas prices based on zip code. Very cool if you you are interested in saving a couple of pennies, or if you are unfamiliar with an area and looking for a gas station. This also applies to their WiFi feature.
Atlas works faster than Google Earth, and has a lot of cool features that do not seem very buggy. Nice for a mash-up.
