03/13/2003 10:21 AMIt seems that the browser we have come to know as Chimera (or is that
Navigator?) is about to change name to Camino. The name is going
through legal checks, and Camino will debut sometime soon as Chimera
0.7. No idea what it means, but I quite like it (bearing in mind the
other option was iVoyage). { via

When I said we're not soliciting suggestions for new names, I

check and they are doing a more in-depth one. Expect resolution
sometime next week and the 0.7 release very shortly after.
Doesn't exactly conjure up an image of speed, now, does it? I just
think of "El Camino" and imagine something like this.
Not that Chimera was necessarily any better, but Camino just

thinking about grabbing the 20030310 build of Camino, don't. It's
crash-a-rific and I'm almost positive it has to do with the flash
plug-in. I've already sent in 5 talkback reports today. Just stick
with .7 for now. I only mention this because the nightly builds from
.6 to .7 were almost always as stable as the point release and the dev
guys even advocated grabbing a nightly build in the time between .6
and .7 to fix (among other things) a flash issue. Yes, I'm fully
aware that nightly builds are meant for testing purposes only, they
might shred your data, people can and do lose money! I'm just
sayin'...

03/14/2005 05:53 PMGoogle Maps Features include (according to Google): Easy navigation--
Users can drag the map to view the adjacent parts of a map. Search
results from Google Local-- To find a wifi hot spot in a local area,
users may type [wifi hot spot] and their local zip code to see wifi
locations on the map. They will see phone numbers for each location
appearing on the right side of the page. When users click on locations
on the map, they will also find address information. Single search
box-- Users can type search terms into a single search box under the
Maps tab for local search results and driving directions. For example,
typing [great sushi in New York] will display great sushi restaurants
located in New York. Typing [Manhattan to Brooklyn] shows directions
from Manhattan to Brooklyn. Turn-by-turn directions-- Users may type
in an address and Google Maps plots a route, displaying it visually on
the map itself, together with step-by-step directions for getting
there (or back from there). When users click on one of these steps,
they will see a magnified view of the area mentioned in the
directions. Keyboard shortcuts-- Users can use the arrow keys to pan
left, right, up and down; pan wider with page up, page down, home and
end keys; and zoom in and out with the (+) and (-) keys....

03/14/2005 05:27 PMI'll probably write more on this later, but it seems that
Google Maps is using XSL. I spotted it
loading the following pages while sniffing its activity with LiveHTTPHeaders:
This is in addition to the (now expected) XMLHttpRequest
stuff. There even appears to be some of Microsoft's weird VML, although
as I'm on a Mac I don't have access to IE/Windows to see what it's doing with it.
The bulk of the Google Maps JavaScript appears to be
hidden away in maps.1.js, which
becomes a lot more readable if you feed it through PrettyPrinter.de
As for Google Maps itself, it's an amazing piece of work
but it's a shame they didn't follow map.search.ch's lead in degrading
gracefully to a static version for unsupported browsers.
If anyone has any further insights in to how it all works,
please post them in a comment.

Kathryn for 3 years, it never came up until today. Unbelievable.

Google Maps and user experience
Google Maps and user experience
04/06/2005 12:06 PMEarlier this week, Google integrated their recently acquired Keyhole technology into Google
Maps, allowing the user to toggle between the abstract map view and a satellite view. The addition was pre
tty big news, and I was pretty excited
when I saw this feature, as were many others. Matt
Haughey even did a Maps/Flickr mashup in creating a memory map of his
childhood stomping grounds; others followed suit.
The ability to view satellite images online has been around for
years in the form of Microsoft's Terraserver (and also on
a mapping site that I can't locate right now...I swear Mapquest let
you switch back and forth between the two views, but I can't find it),
so this really isn't anything new. Terraserver lets you zoom in/out,
move around the map, and view other versions of the map (they have a
topological version), and I know that many of the people who are so
excited about Google Maps are familar with it. So why is everyone so
excited about it?
Part of it is Google's involvement...they draw a crowd of attention
anytime they do anything these days. But it also has a lot to do with
someone I wrote about a couple of years ago: it's the user experience, stupid:
Robert Morris from IBM argued last year at Etech 2002
that -- and I'm paraphrasing from memory here -- most significant
advances in software are actually advances in user experience, not in
technology. Mosaic was not an advancement in technology over TBL's
original browser. Blogger is a highly-specialized FTP client. IM is
IRC++ (or IRC for Dummies, depending on your POV). The advantages that
these applications offered people were user experience-oriented, not
technology-oriented.
The satellite feature on Google is no exception. They took
something that's been around for years, made it way easier to use
(reposition & zoom maps without reloading, pinpoint addresses and
routes onto the satellite imagery, toggle between sat and road maps,
map size automatically scales to the browser window, etc.), and
suddenly this old thing is much more useful and fun to play around
with. Ajax is the underlying technology (which isn't new either)
for many of the notable Google Maps features, but how Google used it
to make a useful user experience is the real story here.
