AOL Music just launched a great site called Tour Tracker. It allows you to see when and where your favorite bands are playing and shows coming to a town near you.

They also just happen to have some really cool interactive maps built on the same MapQuest Platform that you use, specifically the JavaScript API. How about that?

Go over and check it out while I get some tickets to go see the Foo Fighters.

MapQuest Platform 5.3 Released

Posted Jul 1st 2008 3:00PM by Josh Babetski

We are pleased to announce the release of version 5.3 of the MapQuest Platform! This update focuses on enhancements to our 3 client-side APIs: JavaScript, AS3, and FUJAX.

Some of the big changes include:

  • Collections: Support for multiple and remote collections (KML and GeoRSS); easier handling of shape collections
  • Custom Tile Layer support
  • Add real-time traffic to your map
  • Globe view enhancements
