To start off the Picasa-Maps mashups, I’ve put together an example that combines a Picasa photo album feed with the Map API’s recently announced Driving Directions feature to calculate a driving route that will get you a similar set of photos. Now, no need to be jealous of your friends’ pretty landscape albums – just copy them! Try it out below by clicking “Load Album & Route.”
with a bit of additional hacking, a youtube version of this shouldn’t be too hard.
Google Maps is a very normal lens, and many of the decisions about what to display and not to display have been made for you. This isn’t all good. For example, I couldn’t not call out the Cape Verde islands at a hurricane-tracking website and still feel that I’d made a site truly devoted to tropical cyclones. And yet this kind of control is missing from the one-size-fits-all solution.
wanting more contextual customization if i understand correctly
very impressive mapplet
High Earth Orbit i hope we can implement many / all of these ideas
Stuart McKelvey, CEO of TMP Directional Marketing, is quoted as saying “There is no true leader in local search.” This is not an accurate statement. In reality the local search leader is pretty clearly Google.
Google Maps works, apparently
an application designed to take any image and cut it into tiles which are displayed on a Google Map. Using this tool, large images can be published on the web in a format that allows the user to pan and zoom using the standard Google Maps interface.
now if only they had slightly higher res screens on those planes.
