Here’s a short screencast of a quick demo of the realtime shared Google Map based on XMPP4MOZ that I’m working on.

The demo shows some of the current features:

• Users can connect to the agent and the map updates with the current location and zoom level. The agent keeps the status of map, landmarks and chat so if a user connects after other users have updated the map he can see the last map status. This also happens if all the users disconnects, the agent keeps the map so when they connect again they can start from what they leaved.
• Synchronization features. Users can move and zoom the map and other see that actions in realtime. Users can chat toghether and they can also add markers on the map and drag them around. All the user’s maps updates in realtime.
• The current application is very modular, the core abstracts the comunication with the agent and manages the creation and initialization of the modules so it’s very easy to create new modules and add functionality.
• The current application consists of application core, movement and zoom sync module, a chat module, landmark module.
