I'd like to add to the list: FCC uses Google Map for aiding the public with DTV coverage and events. http://dtvsupport.fcc.gov/dtv_gov/map.htm http://www.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/maps/ Since we're talking about gov sites here, I'd like to point out that Google map is not 508 compliant. However, the alternative is also have a non JS driven version too. For example, on the Events page for DTV, there's a "Map View" but also a "List View"(screen reader friendly. Keep up the good work.
