(From Virgin Radio’s tech blog):

You might have seen our Planned transmitter work page.

The RSS feed for this contains GeoRSS (and has done since launch). And now, Google Maps supports this natively.

So, if you go to Google Maps and paste the RSS feed into ‘search maps’ and hit ‘go’, you’ll see a simple map of all the transmitters currently under maintenance.

In fact, I post some beta-test and fun stuff into the BBC Backstage group; the request for GeoRSS came from a user there – at the time, I’d no idea why anyone would want it, but it wasn’t a long job to add it in, so we did anyway. Glad we did now.
