Mash-o-matic is a utility to automatically generate mash-ups (web applications that combine information from different sources). Out of the box, Mash-o-matic can generate data for mash-ups based on the Google Maps API, and generate the mash-ups themselves. It can be easily customized to use other map tools such as Yahoo! Maps and Virtual Earth.

We have used Mash-o-matic to create a mash-up that displays a map of the Portland State University campus. We spent about five hours to create this mash-up, and wrote no code to create it.

Example Mash-ups

• Portland State University Campus Map

• Portland Metro Food Markets (developed for the Oregon Department of Agriculture)

Using the Google Maps API                      Using Google Earth KML (requires Google Earth)
