Links List 10.24.08
Ogle Earth shares a plethora of links with everything from a 3-D globe viewer from Microsoft Virtual Earth’s API to heatmaps of georeferenced Panoramio photos to a job search using ReliefWeb’s map of humanitarian vacancies. It really shows that you can use a map for anything.
Reverse geocoding for Google Maps is now available, and Google Maps Mania has a comprehensive review. Reverse geocoding is pretty cool, it allows users to enter in the latitude and longitude of your location and then provide the physical address (for example, FortiusOne’s mailing/street address).
Journalists take note. The AnyGeo Blog points out how important the visual of a map is in telling a story. Reading a recent article in the local Fort Collins, CO paper, Glenn says, “I can’t help to think how much more useful the article in the paper would have been by simply posting the actual map or a link and forget about all the blabber.”
The Click2Map blog gives an overview and insight into the Google Gears Geolocation API for laptop wi-fi users. The original intent of the Gears Geolocation API was for developers to easily deliver location enabled web sites on mobile phones. But the team realized that laptop users could benefit as well, so added that functionality to the product. Even better, the Gears Geolocation API is free.
