GPS Drawing...

            "Digital mark making with satellite navigation technology" is how you can define GPS Drawing Project!

            Jeremy Wood is a multi-discipline artist and map maker whose diverse work is an expression of the poetry and politics of space and reflects upon how we treat our travels and interact with location. In October 2000 he began to explore GPS satellite technology as a tool for digital mark making on water, over land, and in the air. He makes drawings and maps of his movements and records all his daily journeys with GPS as an ongoing personal cartography.

   Wood has conducted numerous GPS drawing and mapping seminars and workshops in schools, museums and galleries. His work is exhibited internationally and is in the permanent collection of the University of the Arts and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. To know more about him and to view his GPS drawings you can visit his website.

Fusion Table Layer...

Today we will have a look at the "Fusion Table" Layer example. But before we start with the actual code, we will have a look at what Fusion Table is. Google Fusion Table is a free service for sharing and visualizing data online. It allows you to share data, merge data from multiple tables into interesting derived tables, and see the most up-to-date data from all sources. There is a lot of documentation about Google Fusion Table available on the web. You can visit their home page or the Google Research Blog to gather more information about Fusion Tables. Let us have a look at the following code. The code is very short and simple to understand! The few things to look out for in the above code are: The manner in which mapTypeId has been specified! In other Google Maps API v3 examples, we have seen that we specify mapTypeID as ROADMAP, SATELLITE, etc. i.e., all the letters are in uppercase and not in quotes! However, in this...

Google Map's Real-Time Traffic Layer...

You can now check the traffic condition on the road before you leave for work, or a party or to your friend's place. Google's Traffic layer shows the traffic conditions in your area - LIVE!!! Live traffic data is available in major cities in the United States, France, Britain, Canada and Australia, with new cities and countries frequently added. The Google Maps API allows you to add real-time traffic information (where supported) to your maps using the TrafficLayer object. Traffic information is provided for the time at which the request is made. Consult this spreadsheet to determine traffic coverage support. Let us now have a look at the Google Maps API - Trafiic Layer example. Copy the following code in a simple text file and save it as html. Click on this html file and it will open in your default browser. You will then see the traffic conditions in your area - LIVE... The output of the above code looks as seen in the r...

Side-scrolling web pages issue with Jquery Mobile - Issue #5748

While developing a Jquery mobile based application, I came across a issue that is observed only on the iOS 6 devices and Android 4.2.2 devices. What is the issue? Web pages are side scrolling on iOS6 and Android 4.2.2 devices. How did I debug the issue? This bug was in our applications bug tracker for a long time and since I am the lone front-end developer the project that I am working on, my manger was pushing me to close this bug quickly. I had used the perfect mobile meta tag and still the web pages were side-scrolling. None of my divs had width that was going beyond the device widths and still there was this issue. That day, I decided to break down my HTML to pieces, and tested each piece on the dreadful iOS 6 device. I came down to a textbox that had some placeholder text in it and there it was, the issue was glaring me in my face. ...

Google Weather Layer - Simple Example

As promised in the last post , we will be having a look at a very simple example that will help us understand how we can use the weather layer effectively in our Google Map applications using the Google Maps API v3. The weather layer is basically a combination of 2 layers - the Weather Layer and the Clouds Layer . The weather layers displays the weather icons and the temperature corresponding that icon whereas the clouds layers displays the cloud cover across the globe. We can choose to display or hide any of these layers. Let us now dive into a very simple code that will help us understand the basics of the Weather Layer library today. The output of the above code will appear as seen in the result section above. You will find a map centered at "India" with both the weather and cloud layers enabled! Most part of the above code is similar to most other examples you will find...
