I've been playing with Google's My Maps service since it launched last year. Mostly I've used it for personal maps such as travel itineraries or things like that. I recently decided I wanted to create a public map to share in Google's directory and see whether I could get others to collaborate. The arrival of summer in New York City has brought with it the familiar Mister Softee ice cream trucks. So I've created a Mister Softee NYC map and started it with two of the locations I know of (in Manhattan trucks usually park at the same intersections). Now I'm hoping to rally the soft-serve loving residents of New York to help me complete the map. If you want to contribute click the View Larger Map link below.
Does Captain Softee count, or are you sticking to civilians? ('Cause, like, half the trucks I've seen this year are Captain Softees.)
