If you play LOTRO (Lord of the Rings Online) then you know one of the most common OOC (Out Of Character) chat topics is "Where is [item/place/point of interest/quest/NPC/etc] ..."
At first you try to be helpfull and provide said information, but after a while it gets pretty old...
So now what I try to do is first provide said information (if I know it) AND provide a link to one of my favorite LOTRO Fan map sites (www.mehq.net).
Middle Earth Headquaters provides a very cool dynamic map and search feature, marking up a copy of the ingame map with item/place/POI/NPC/etc locations.
Today, I found a another too cool LOTRO map site, http://www.arda-online.com/map/ (via Programable Web - Lord of the Rings Maps).
Arda Online's map is cool in that it provides dynamic, searchable LOTRO maps via a Google Map mashup interface. Think Google maps for LOTRO... It's not as complete as MEHQ's maps, but the interface is pretty darn cool.
Added to my Favorites. ;)
