The 400th entry is the Multimap API. The latest version of this JavaScript API for European and global mapping was just announced and includes new features like a geocoding API, search by radius, routing with ‘travelling salesman’ optimization and route animation, and local points of interest, POI, like schools, transportation, restaurants and bars, ATMs, and car parks.
