The Vancouver [de] Tour Guide 2010 is a mapping project that uses the Google Maps API to present an alternative to "the sanitized 'best place on earth' version the 2010 Olympics organizers are promoting worldwide".
The map highlights a variety of locations, histories, and representations of the city and also seeks to record, collect, and transmit information such as the impact of the Olympics and other unofficial stories to visitors.
Locals and others who have knowledge of the city can contribute to the map, either online or in person at a series of mapping parties. To get involved see:
