I meantioned earlier about MyApartmentMap.com which tied Craig's list housing posting to Google maps with limited success.
HousingMaps has done this as well, and with seemingly better results. However both services are powered by Craig's List and Google (with no official affiliation) and cannot account for the fuzzy nature of most of Craig's List apartment locations. Within a CL post, one can click on the given location to see a Google map, but more often than not the post does not contain enough specific information for Google Maps to plot the site without asking, "Did you mean..." first. Such postings do not appear on either apartment-mapping site.
But still, kinda cool, and kinda useful.
