New York City uses GeoServer, Oracle Spatial for Web GIS
New York City recently relaunched NYCityMap2.0 -- a web GIS application built in-house using the open source GeoServer plus Oracle Spatial. The effort is noted in Government Technology (hat tip to Adena Schutzberg), along with discussion of why Google Maps or Microsoft Virtual Earth were not a good fit. No mention of ESRI or Arc anything.

Every city should have maps like this. Considering the application is composed of open source parts, even Manhattan, Kansas could have a map as robust as this one.

Agree. Also Manhattan, Illinois, Manhattan, Montana, and Manhattan, Nevada.

If New York City has it's own version of "Google Earth" then it must be better than what Google is offering for this city. Otherwise I don't see why would anyone invest money and time into such a project.
