Blocky Earth 

WebGL browser based experimental demo turns Google Maps data into 3D cubic blocks. By Jaume Sánchez:

A representation of terrain, using cubic blocks to render google maps, with texture and elevation.

It shows your current location or a specific location, in different levels of zoom and sizes.

Technology:
WebGL, Fullscreen API, Canvas, Javascript.

It is also worth checking out Jamie’s other online demos. Also, this was found via roomthily’s interesting tumblr blog, which I can fully recommend.
