I have come across some great Google Maps mash ups.
These are all music related.

Live music based on your location. Works pretty well.

Navigate to ‘new’ music based on locations. Not as good as it first appears.
Visually though it looks great.

This streams music from your harddrive to your mobile.
I think it also uses LastFM to stream radio to your phone based on your musical taste.
Clear in that it does not need a server but uses each users PC as a server and relays on the users ISP to provide enough bandwidth.

A clever workaround/hack that allows the currentLocation call in Google Gears to be used externally.
