Integrating stories and geography

I liked this, which I saw the other day (Hat Tip: Virginia Murdoch). It’s a story in the “hard-boiled” genre, told in bite sized chunks with each chunk connected to its location on Google Maps. As I said, I liked it, but it didn’t really hold my attention I don’t think because I’m not familiar with the location it connected the story to in this intimate way.
Now: how cool would it be if there was a tool so we could all tell stories like this? I know there are already tools out there that make use of the Google Maps API and let people plot things out, but this would be something much more dedicated, and perhaps simpler: just a set of tools specially designed for story telling.
