Yet, no previous systems have solved these problems well, when factor in problems such as: for instance, "1234 Main Street" could be valid addresses under several zip codes.

Since Google released Google Earth and, more importantly, its Google Map API, there is now a new platform -- the Earth -- on which for developers to write web applications. First, there are the "mashup" products on various web sites, such as those listed on MapBuilder.net.

Now there are applications that take the Earth based programming to a new heights and scale that have not been reached before. Claim The Earth (http://www.ClaimTheEarth.com ) was initially developed as one of these games that allow players to stake claims on land like a Monopoly game. The unique thing about this game is that it has such a vast area of land for players to cover (the entire earth), it is currently applying for a Guinness World Record of "a Monopoly like game played by most players". The game organizer intend to have the game last until either 5 billion points are claimed (resemble the population on the real Earth) or 1 / 4 of the earth surface area are claimed. Yet another amazing thing is that such a system is hosted on a couple of 233- MHz Pentium II PCs running Linux systems. It was unthinkable to run such big scale applications without web services or the "mashup" concept.

Emergence of the software applications like Claim the Earth signify serious attempts to take Google map into more business oriented application development than just mapping locations, displaying markers for local searches.

Creators of Claim the Earth have worked in GPS location based service industries for many years. Having customers to always submit neatly typed addresses for vehicle fleet based services has been one of the biggest headaches in the transportation industry. A customer might type in: "1234 Main ST", "1234 Main Street", "1234 Main Str", "1234 Main", not to mention mistyped words and other more complex scenarios such as "unit 4", "#4", "Apt 4", "Apartment 4", "atten: John Smith", etc. in the address line, which have all been problems to be dealt with by computer systems. Yet, no previous systems have solved these problems well, when factor in problems such as: for instance, "1234 Main Street" could be valid addresses under several zip codes.
