To the best of my knowledge this is the first Quaker Google Maps hack, showing the meetinghouses of downtown Philadelphia. Click on the thumbtacks for details; click on the satellite view for a cool view! Like much of the web it looks much better in Firefox. Hack courtesy of the extremely experimental MyGmaps, data from Quakerfinder.org. Here's my short list of Google Map Hacks.

Although I love Quakerfinder, it should be noted that Google does almost as good a job listing area "Friends Meetings" via their "local search" feature.
