The Google Maps API offers infinite possibilities when it comes to blending geographic data and having fun with the world’s most accurate and comprehensive map. Here are just a few of our favourite Canadian-themed Google Maps API.
Tracking Polar Bears
Polar Bears International has a great MAP illustrating the amazing ice-bound journey Canada’s polar bears are taking this winter.

This MAP, from Edmontonian Charles Heard, helps you find a hill for those snowy days and add your favourite tobogganing run.
Drawing Canada
And finally, a bit of whimsy with this MAPS experiment from Darren Wein. Watch as Canada’s borders appear to be drawn by hand.
