Here are some interesting things for Google Maps:
Real-Time Planes & Ships on Google Map:
This amazing Spanish Google Map seems to have set itself the task of tracking in real-time just about anything that moves (http://www.localizatodo.com/mapa/)
The Indiana Jones Map Effect:
"Do you remember the travel/flight sequences in the Indiana Jones movies?
Hacks.mozilla.org remember them so fondly that they decided to recreate the effect with Google Maps and a YouTube video. The result is pretty awesome as you can see in the video above or see for yourself on the demo page."
Pacman on Google Maps:
"PacMap is an application that turns your neighborhood into a real-life Pac-Man game.
PacMap overlays yellow pac-dots on top of a Google Map of your location. Your goal is to walk your neighborhood gobbling up the dots whilst avoiding the familiar Pac-Man enemies.

People Search on Google Maps:
"Spokeo is a people centred search engine that lets you search for information about people by name and location.
If you enter someone's name into the Spokeo search engine the results are returned on a Google Map. The results are clustered on the map and organised in the map sidebar by state. " (http://www.spokeo.com/)
Google Earth Flight Simulator:
"GE Flight Simulator is a very realistic flight simulation game that uses the Google Earth plugin.
Using the simulation you can fly anywhere in the world. The simulation uses Google Maps to display and help you navigate to over 30,000 airports around the world. To view the map in flight just click the "show map" button in the option bar." "You can also view the map of the 30,000 airports on its own here."

10 Great Car Journeys in Street View:
"This week the Jalopnik website used TripGeo to create an animated Street View drive of the Dalton Highway in Alaska.
TripGeo is a great widget that lets you create embeddable animated Street View journeys anywhere that Google Maps has Street View coverage. Inspired by Jalopnik, here are my ten favourite Street View journeys animated by TripGeo:
Dalton Highway, Alaska
Transfagarasan Highway
The Transfăgărăşan is the most dramatic and second-highest paved road in Romania. The 90 km of twists and turns run north to south across the tallest sections of the Southern Carpathians, between the highest peak in the country, Moldoveanu, and the second highest, Negoiu.
Chapmans Peak, South Africa
Chateau d'Eox , Switzerland
Kirkstone Pass, UK
Kirkstone Pass is a mountain pass in the English Lake District, in the county of Cumbria. This is the Lake District's highest pass that is open to motor traffic.
Millau Viaduct, France
The Millau Viaduct is a cable-stayed road-bridge that spans the valley of the river Tarn near Millau in southern France. It is the tallest bridge in the world,
Highway 1, California
Lake Como, Italy
Øresund Bridge, Denmark to Sweden
The Øresund Bridge connects Sweden and Denmark, and it is the longest road and rail bridge in Europe.
Stuart Highway, Australia
The Stuart Highway is one of Australia's major highways. It is the principal north-south route through the central interior of mainland Australia and is often referred to simply as "The Track"."

And finally something that`s not from Google Maps but from Google Body Browser, that`s right, here it is:
Mapping the Human Body:
"After Google has mapped the Earth, the moon and the night sky it seems that the only thing left was the human body. Google Labs have just released the Google Body Browser that lets you explore the body."(http://bodybrowser.googlelabs.com/index.html)
