Here is a Google map and Picassa album "mashup" of a half marathon in progress.
http://obxrunners.appspot.com/route/agpvYnhydW5uZXJzcgwLEgVSb3V0ZRjJAQw/play The whole marathon (all 26.2 miles) course is available on the home page http://obxrunners.appspot.com (press the play button) This was my first application going "live" on a commercial venue with untold people accessing it. Since my App Engine accounts give me 10 applications, I just set up a unique one for this individual marathon. In the week before the marathon the site was constantly in use. It was very popular with runners to visualize their performance ahead of time and see the lay of the land. It ran very well and the CPU quota was always at zero. This isn't too surprising since all the processing is handed over at the start to the client side via Javascript. After that all it does is request google map updates and new images from picasa which apparently Google can do without blinking. In my design, I left the images in Picasa and only store the links on my site. This keeps my size down considerably when using images...I can use as many as I want, file size is no larger than a path. This seems to be a very good use for the App Engine. I got a lot of positive response from people.
