The Full Wiki: A Big Mash Up
There are so many different combinations of data to mash together that it makes sense that some of the really big ones might not be the most obvious choices. Like Wikipedia for example. It's already got geocoded destination links and numerous maps, but imagine all the possible things that could happen if it got a good mashing with Google Maps? In the case of the full wiki you'd get a reference site where a map is displayed alongside the reference text, and each location mentioned in the text is marked with a map pin.
It's a genius site for looking at pages like the First voyage of James Cook 'cause not only can you see the pins marking his route, but you can also scroll over the pins to skip to the bit you're interested in.

- The First Voyage of James Cook on the full wiki
Pages for The Ashes and The Sydney to Hobart are less interesting, but the stories of the ill-fated Burke and Wills Expedition and the exploits of Ned Kelly gain a lot from being mapped out.
