Beer maps combine two of my favorite things: beer and maps. This first interactive map is the most complete map of breweries and brewpubs in Oregon I have found, it’s beautiful in it’s simplicity. What appears to be just a simple map with two symbols representing breweries and brewpubs contains some of the most complete information on these establishments including links to their menus accessed by just clicking on the symbols.

This incredible kickstarter is in an effort to get people walking in their city. If this project gets funded, people will be able go onto a website to print signs telling people how many minutes away an area of interest is on foot. Using a tactic called guerilla wayfinding (basically putting up directional street signs without permission) anyone can help encourage walking in their city.

Google always pulls out all the stops for their April Fools Jokes but this year has to be one of my favorites. Combining two of my favorite things, maps and 8-Bit art, Google has introduced Google Maps for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
I think I just found my new summer pastime. Thanks to Kickstarter, I discovered grassroots mapping a few months ago. Don’t know what grassroots mapping is? It’s the art of creating your own aerial photos using a balloon or kite and a digital camera.
