Luckily Noorderlicht has its own website as well as I chop-chop discovered that the Noorderlicht hibernates icebound every wintertime inward Tempelfjorden, Svalbard, which is where it appears to bring been when the Street View sled wandered by.

Next I couldn't assistance wondering where the Noorderlicht is now. So I headed over to MarineTraffic to run into if I could abide by its electrical flow place from its onboard AIS. It looks similar the Noorderlicht currently isn't also far away from its dwelling menage port. MarineTraffic reports its final tracked position only off the coast of Longyearbyen, Svalbard.

The buses on the map are color-coded to request which transit companionship they belong to. If yous click on whatever 1 of the thousands of buses moving on this map yous tin thought where it is heading together with how early on or belatedly it is running.

This map of the Military Memorial Park inwards Pákozd, Republic of Hungary claims to last "the world's highest spatial resolution aerial orthophoto map produced past times aeroplane". I don't know if that is truthful or non simply I hit similar the map.

Aerial Record role the Google Maps API equally a agency of presenting the high resolution aerial imagery equally a slippy interactive map. This agency that users tin zoom inwards together with pan roughly the picture equally they would hit a normal Google Map.

The aerial imagery itself actually is of high resolution. If yous zoom inwards on individuals on the map yous tin almost come across the color of their eyes.

Using location inwards advertising is hard. Google has tried advertising on Google Maps together with it besides offers advertising options to developers inwards the Google Maps API. From what I tin hand the sack scope neither approach has actually worked inwards monetizing Google Maps.

The other long running endeavor to purpose location inwards advertising has been to mail text messages to consumers based on their whereabouts. If you lot are a regular attendee at online mapping conferences together with meet-ups you lot volition in all likelihood hold out equally bored equally I am of pitches from geniuses who claim to convey discovered a novel method of sending consumers text messages (containing adverts or coupons) based on their location.

My instinct is that people don't desire ads on their maps together with they don't desire to hold out bombarded alongside text messages every fourth dimension they walk yesteryear a store.



So location inwards advertising is hard. However British Airways has managed to crevice location rather spectacularly inwards their novel advertising displace inwards London. And they convey done this non yesteryear using the location of consumers only yesteryear using the locations of BA planes.

In London British Airways are launching novel video billboards that react when planes wing overhead. Using the Automatic Identification System (AIS) the billboards are able to rails the position of British Airway flights together with to display flying details alive inwards video adverts.

The library includes roughly demonstration maps created using Timemap. For example, the Temporal Heatmap from a Google Spreadsheet instance is a map amongst markers that are sized on the map according to a information signal inwards a spreadsheet. It is a slap-up template for showing expanding in addition to shrinking information points over time. In the instance map the markers present cumulative deaths from asbestosis in addition to silicosis inwards Texas over time.

Google Static Maps Api Wizards

If you lot don't postulate a fully interactive slippy map you lot tin purpose the Google Static Maps API to embed a Google Maps ikon on your spider web page without requiring JavaScript or whatever dynamic page loading.

The API is fairly elementary to implement as well as creates a map based on URL parameters. The URL parameters tin live on quite long notwithstanding which tin Pb to some confusion. I've ever institute it easiest to purpose Google's Static Maps API Wizard when I postulate to create a static map. The sorcerer allows you lot to lead a location, the base of operations map type you lot require as well as define the size of your static map. It as well as therefore creates the URL for you lot to embed your static map.

Unfortunately the sorcerer isn't brilliantly designed. That's why you lot powerfulness desire to purpose Katy Decorah's novel Static Map Maker instead. The Static Map Maker likewise allows you lot to easily create a static map as well as generate the URL for a publish of dissimilar ikon formats. The sorcerer is a lot easier to purpose than Google's ain sorcerer as well as involves a lot less needless scrolling upwards as well as downwardly the page to stance the changes that you lot brand to your static map.

Both Google's ain sorcerer as well as the Static Map Maker both ignore the Styled Map options inward the Google Static Maps API. These options let you lot to lead which map features look on your static map as well as fifty-fifty let you lot to customize the colors of map features. There is soundless a picayune niche in that place for somebody to create a Static Maps Wizard that allows you lot to play around amongst map styles.

Street View likewise has its ain Static Street View Image API. H5N1 few years dorsum I created this really elementary Static Street View Wizard to generate the URL to embed a static Street View.

To celebrate l years of Dr Who the UK's Ordnance Survey has mapped the locations of all 73 constabulary boxes that are yet inward their master copy locations. Fans of Dr Who volition know that the TARDIS is permanently stuck inward the cast of a constabulary box because its chameleon circuit is broken in addition to it tin no longer alter its appearance to jibe its surroundings.

Police boxes were installed throughout the United Kingdom of Great Britain in addition to Northern Ireland of Britain in addition to Northern Republic of Ireland inward the early on 20th century.

The Ordnance Survey Police Call Boxes map shows that at that spot are yet a few constabulary boxes left inward England, Scotland in addition to Wales. For about argue Glasgow in addition to Edinburgh seem to endure domicile to a large percent of the remaining boxes.


The Earl's Court constabulary box that appears on Google Maps Street View (and which you lot tin explore inside) does non characteristic on the Ordnance Survey map. The Ordnance Survey claim that this is because it was non a performance constabulary telephone phone box. However they are incorrect on that count.

It is likewise possible to utilisation jQuery Waypoints alongside Google Maps Street View. Using the library alongside Street View allows us to create an application where nosotros tin give the axe walk upward together with downwards a street using the scroll cycle or scroll bar.


Have a await at this demo to survive an take in of what is possible. For the purposes of this event I've added a visible overlay together with added a hash '#' for each div chemical ingredient where I am loading a novel Street View.
