Map of the Day: Best of NYC Maps:

The NYPost has a feature about maps mashups, and they even give a shoutout to our Gothamist Map Mashup (look for a re-release next month!) We’ve been tracking NYC mashups for months– and currently have dozens in our maps archive. Here are our top ten mashup picks:

Ghostbusters map, Bike routes map, Murder map, Flood map, Beer map, Gawker Stalker map, NYC Streetart Map, Atomic Bomb map, Garbage map

And of course, the NYonTap bar/subway map, which still deserves the “best NYC mashup” award.

some of these could be very handy…

science on a sphere – data visualization & visual culture – information aesthetics:
a 4-projector system that displays images on a spherical screen. the Science on a Sphere system can display & animate vast amounts of visual data from the Earth, Moon, Sun & the other planets. the sphere is suspended by thin wires, so that animating the image data gives the illusion of a free-floating, rotating world.
