JetBlue is the latest to offer its service mashed up with a Google Map. You can now track your flight on a Google map from inside the plane.

On channel 13 of the in-seat television screen, you'll be able to see your JetBlue flight on a Google map, including the flight's altitude, speed and location, as they fly. In conjunction with this release, JetBlue is holding a photo contest. The best in-flight photo between June 4 and September 3, 2007 will win two round trip tickets to anywhere that JetBlue flies. While other airlines offer in-flight tracking, JetBlue is the first to do so on a Google Map. The airline has also insinuated that they plan on working more with Google in the future.
