Vodaphone in the UK has set up a campaign that uses Twitter Search API, the Google Maps API, the Yahoo Placemaker API and a large helping of jQuery.
All this technology and mapping allows Twitter users to #tag their starting location and then their travel destination to the Vodaphone map. (example: #ukhols 25 F B12 Gran Canaria)
Vodafone then connects their starting point and there destination and provides the distance between the to.
Users receive the code that will allow them to use UK rates for MMS and SMS while on holiday in their respective destination.
