Google launched a new project Wednesday, More Than Maps, highlighting the work of developers around the globe, using Google Maps. One Googler, Carlos Cuesta, spent a whirlwind eight days travelling to five different continents, to document the work of developers across the world.
In the above gallery, you'll see stories from Kenya, Thailand, Germany, Australia and Brazil. Each week, one story will be highlighted on Google's Geo Developers Blog.
More Than Maps, albeit highly promotional, provides some cool insight into the range of uses of the Google Maps API.
