After baby steps and lawsuits in this direction, Craigslist launches Map View for apartment hunting. Does this essentially kill Padmapper and the rest?

Seems like its only available in the Bay for now.

Can we make this happen for New York?

Seems like they tested in Portland in the morning and then tried it out on the Bay. My money is on it this feature being made available most places within a year.

Is this the real reason for the law suit against 3Taps and PadMapper?

Maybe. But there was a Yahoo Pipes example a good number of years back that allowed even more flexibility than what craigslist has done. IIRC, the Pipes author had a dog and was searching for an apartment that allowed pets and was within a certain distance of a park.
