Maps and dynamic data: Bridge Tracker
Nice work from MSNBC.com on a Bridge Tracker graphic that allows you to enter any two U.S. cities and see all bridges between them, with data about safety inspections for each bridge. Data for more than 100,000 bridges are included. The graphic is part of an investigative package about bridge inspections.
Apart from its news value, utility, and ease of use, the graphic is also notable for its use of Microsoft Virtual Earth (not Google Maps).
