The Cambridge University Map supports a sophisticated annotation API, based on GeoJSON. The resulting map functionality can be neatly embedded in a page using an iframe.
Create a mashup that uses the Talks.cam API with some natural language processing to create an itinerary for a visitor with cross-disciplinary interests, for example to all the research groups that host seminars on neuroscience, or infectious diseases. If the academic visitor is feeling a little lazy, the talks might be a little less clearly related, but within a shorter walking distance. The final result should include a programme of events, with an embedded interactive map showing how to get to them.
