Is there no end?  Gosh, I hope not!   Now Google users can create custom map mashups built from other people’s mashups.

MyMaps and Mapplets (see directory) have been rolled together to give Google Maps users the ability to create custom maps using dynamic data. “Users can add data points like location-based photo searches from Picasa and gas prices from GasBuddy to their custom maps.”  See the article for how to do it.
