I have used google and ebay apis to plot location of Ebay UK Car Auctions on the map. Trying to achieve this live as people request is near impossible due to the delays in both these APIs. Effectively there are around 2000 combinations for car makes and model to get data for, this app uses 3 cron jobs to retrieve most watched data, retrieve query data, and process geocode locations. Try it out here: http://www.find-cars-4-sale.co.uk, some data still being gathered so some queries maybe slightly slow for a while until caching is complete

Google has almost everything. He just does not have reverse geocoding, I mean if I want to get informations about administrative divisions for given GPS position. But in combination with Tixik.com API I just found it does :) See http://en.tixik.com/info/api

Google wasn't exactly quiet about this. They posted it on their Maps API blog.
