Sending directions to a party? Want to embed a funky map somewhere? Bing now offers “Destination maps” that look like a choice of four stylistic hand drawings. The production interface is a little clunky, and the result doesn’t appear to allow for quick access to directions, but I think the result is pretty cool. Apparently this is only one of Bing’s new “Map Apps” (click on the button at the bottom of that page)
A collection of interesting charts, tables, maps, and interactive data toys -- with a focus on economics and graphic design.
