App. Update
The apps4nsw competition has closed which means you can now have a look at all the entries. And while you're at it you might want to vote for your fave. NSW related app. in the People's Choice Award.
Perusing the current top scorers and you'll find an app. for ranting about public transport, and a couple that access health data, but not too many map-apps.. The most popular map based apps. as this is being typed are all for the iphone:
City Tag: which uses pretty much all the geospatial data the NSW gov. has to offer – public toilets, ATMs, BBQs,playgrounds etc. - but also lets you 'tag' your own favourite locations for other people to use. The data it collects when you tag is kept using the Creative Commons license.
That's Camping: lists campsites and their details, the most useful element of which is probably the map directions to get to said campsite from your current location once you've picked a place to set up your tent. (Including a local weather report might have been a nice touch...)
That's Camping screen shot
And an idea called NSW Traffic Report, which is cooler than than the dry name sounds: a mash up of weather reports, traffic reports, RTA cameras and the latest public transport info. Unfortunately you can't see it working but it sounds pretty dang useful.
