Mashup using Wiana and Google Map API's

A mashup is electronic content from more than one source via a public interface or API, Web feeds (e.g. RSS or Atom) and JavaScript, that when combined in an innovative way and presented with active user participation and interaction creates a new website, view or service. The greater availability of simple and lightweight APIs have made these web applications relatively easy to design. They require minimal technical knowledge are sometimes created by innovators, combining available public data in new and creative ways.

The term almost certainly derives from its similar use in pop music where Disk Jockeys (DJs) would, edit using electronic equipment take the vocal track from one song and combine it with the instrumental track of another song resulting in an entirely new composition.

Mashups, though they have been around since the first API was released, have begun to garner more media attention since the beginning of 2006 due to many web companies beginning to fully embrace technologies that enable many people (and more specifically web developers) to easily interface with the primary company’s intellectual property. A good example of this would be Google creating the Google Maps API and letting anyone utilize their Google Maps software and databases so that individuals can develop many new and creative uses for the mapping software.
Using Locustworld’s WIANA.org and Google Maps I have been able to illustrate wireless Mesh nodes. Unfortunately as I change out the nodes the maps do not automatically update the position. One need to provide the Latitude and Longitudinal coordinates in Wiana. Once this is done the illustration of position are automatically updated. Moskaluk wireless mesh nodes (MeshAP).
