Recovery.gov Updated: OpenLayers, OSM...
Recovery.gov's maps got an update on Thursday. There are still glitches (like overposting noted by the Philadelphia Business Journal) but it's a step. Per recovery.gov:
The Recovery Board is introducing a new mapping capacity that will give the American people a road map on stimulus spending. For users' convenience, we have placed our maps on a single landing page.
In the coming months, you will see state-of-the art mapping technologies allowing for even better tracking of spending. For now, use our enhanced State Map to track how much your state is receiving in stimulus funds. And take a look at our new Recipient Map detailing major awards to companies in your communities.
Also nice: use of OpenLayers and data sourced to OpenStreetMap with rendering by Cloudmade.
I'm thinking that since ESRI won the latest Recovery.gov mapping contract, things may look different in the coming months.
