The application takes a shapefile containing geographic areas linked with attributes and automatically generates a working Google Maps website from the data. It does this by pre-creating all the necessary files and saving them into a directory. Publishing the map on the web is then just a matter of copying files onto a web server, allowing Google Maps to be used with the majority of ISPs. </p> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/19124 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/19124 <p>August 23, 2007</p><p>GigaPixel Images in Google Earth</p> <p>Frank Taylor at the Google Earth Blog has <a href="http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2007/08/new_photo_viewer_wit.html">posted a video</a> demonstrating a new layer in Google Earth (v 4.2 required). The layer essentially adds portals to high resolution images on to the map and allows for modal interaction with the image. The interaction starts with a sweep down to the geolocated image which is then aligned with the surrounding 3d space. You can then navigate into the image which is refined like the standard tiling approach seen in mapping sites giving you access to the full gigapixel experience.</p> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/16864 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/16864 Google Mapplets Concepts and Examples<p>Google Mapplets are mini-applications that you can embed within the Google Maps site. Examples include real estate search, current weather conditions, and distance measurement. Mapplets are Google Gadgets that can manipulate the map using Javascript calls that are derived from the Google Maps API.</p><p>Mapplets are currently only available in a special Developer Preview version of Google Maps at:<br />http://maps.google.com/preview</p><p>Mapplets are new, so there may be bugs and slightly less than perfect documentation. Bear with us as we fill in the holes, and join the Maps API discussion group to give us feedback.</p><br /> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/16736 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/16736 google maps adds street views<br /> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/14027 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/14027 mapping out references to locations in book<br />
