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.

Google Adds Keyhole Satellite Support
Google Adds Keyhole Satellite Support
04/05/2005 02:37 AMJust 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.

Google Maps and XSL
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.

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....

Maps has made some significant improvements.
Today Google quietly updated its map service to add high-resolution
aerial photography for much more of the globe than the previous
limited coverage of North America. New additions include Scotland, Iceland, Kuwait and many, many more.
Cool! Now even more sights to see from a really-high bird's eye
view! If only I could quit my job and become a full-time Google Maps
tourist.

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 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.
