Google Satellite Maps 04/05/2005 01:09 AM

Google's n ew satellite view on their maps is kinda freaky (I can see my car in the driveway), but it's fun to revisit my past.

I grew up across the street from the small city lake seen here, which used to be in the middle of a bunch of orange groves and then a golf course, all of which are long gone and replaced by houses. My high school. After college, I lived near this restaurant, which has the best thai food in LA. I lived here when I first moved to San Francisco.

"This is a natural color, 60-centimeter (2-foot) high-resolution QuickBird satellite image featuring the southwestern coast of Sri Lanka. Imagery was collected at 10:20 a.m. local time, slightly less than four hours after the 6:28 a.m. (local Sri Lanka time) earthquake and shortly after the moment of tsunami impact."

iRider and Great Satellite Images

iRider and Great Satellite Images 01/16/2004 01:02 PM

If you are a fan of tabbed browsers, checkout iRider.  It's not free ($30) but it is a sidebar-based browser that works pretty good.  It also will load several pages simultaneously.  Even if you don't like it, you can at least simulate how browsing experience changes when connection speed and server capacity becomes infinite.  It's pretty addictive stuff.  BTW, iRider sucks up a lot of memory when large number of pages are loaded simultaneously.

One of the example iRider Book (page set) contains pages from NASA Earth Observatory.  You gotta check it out even if you don't want to try iRider.  Amazing pictures (it's at its best when using iRider, trust me)!  I am happy that some of my tax dollars made those pictures possible.

Google Maps and XSL

Google Maps and XSL 03/14/2005 05:27 PM

I'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:

• homepanel.xsl
• localinfo.xsl
• localpanel.xsl
• geocodepanel.x sl

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.

Google 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....

My childhood, seen by Google Maps

(My childhood, seen by Google Maps, originally uploaded by mathowie)

Something I never anticipated in a million years was finding out that my good friend Kathryn Yu recognized names and places in this shot, then over IM we realized we attended the exact same elementary school (she, 8 years after me, and it's just off to the right edge of the screenshot). Turns out that she grew up less than a mile away from my house, and though I've known Kathryn for 3 years, it never came up until today. Unbelievable.

Google Maps has now added an option to display your map with sattelite data.

If you ever wondered what Gadgetopia World Headquarters looks like from space, now's your chance. Of course, the defenses are masked from sattelites, and most of the facility is subterreanean, but you get the idea.

Google Adds Keyhole Satellite Support

Google Adds Keyhole Satellite Support 04/05/2005 02:37 AM
Just when you thought they were out of ingenious ideas, Google has just enabled Keyhole Satellite support for its popular 'Maps' and 'Local' services. The system allows you to zoom in on almost any spot in North America, and seamlessly transfer between a map or recent satellite view of the area.

"Have you ever wished you could see what someplace looked like before you got there? A house? A hotel? A freeway exit? We thought you might find it useful. Now when you type an address into Google Maps, you can click the 'Satellite' link and see a view of the area. You can zoom, move the view by dragging, and even resize the window just like the normal 'Maps' view. Looking for a new apartment or house? Type in an address you're considering, get a view from the air and, with a quick local search, find out if you can walk to your favorite Saturday morning cup of coffee."

Keyhole support will easily satisfy casual users who downloaded NASA WorldWind to see their house from space. Using Google Maps I was able to make out individual cars on the freeway, and even see my neighbor’s pool. (Slide and all) Performance is amazing considering the massive amount of data Google must have stored.
