With the open Google Maps API you could have some interesting mashups - overlays for the current position of the groundtrack of the various orbiters for example, Day\night, Insolation...

So are we likely to see, eventually, Google Mars with Themis, MOC and Hirise imagery in there?

If so - will the MOC-NA and Hirise imagery be referenced in such a way that one can refer back to the orig released imagery outside of Google?

The Themis and MGS MOC browsing maps are not too bad actually ( Themis just get's the nod, but obviously these systems take quite a lot of time and thus money to get working properly, and the MOC one is simply older) - but a unifed system is so overdue - and JMars is a clunky evil beast to use

This is certainly possible, but I don't know how plausible it is yet and I'm not sure if I can convince google to do it. There are also numerous technical hurdles to overcome. Want to help?

There's (still) only so much you can do in a browser, and as advanced browser technologies become standardized (AJAX, SVG, etc), we've been moving to use them. We're also always working to improve JMARS, so send us feedback about what you want fixed/streamlined/replaced/etc.
