Curious scenes in Google Map Satellite view...

            Most of you'll must have already seen many images like air crafts, brand logos, animals captured in the Google Satellite images or Google Earth for that matter. I am going to point out some that I found amazing...

Italy's Big Pink Bunny - Google Map Link

Australia's Blue Tree - Google Map Link

 Nevada's Desert Crop Circle - Google Map Link

 England's Dino Maze - Google Map Link

Oregon's Firefox Crop Circle - Google Map Link

             The above images are just a few of the many amazing Google Satellite images available on the web...Hope you enjoy them! Feel free to post links and images similar to these, here...

Update - March 15, 2012:

        I just came across the following freaky street view in Google Maps. I am sharing the image and the actual Google link here. You will need to enable the street view - i.e. drop the yellow pegman on the Google Map at the pointer location and then check out the sky! Let me know what you think - Ghost or what?

      And for those who think that UFOs don't exists, check out this post here. You might want to change your mind after seeing this!

Playing with the markers and info window bubbles...

    In the last few posts, we have seen some marker examples and some information window examples. Now, lets do something interesting combining these two things. Just writing that "This is an info window" in the information bubble is not very interesting! And I know this...Have gone through the same phase!     So, today we will do something interesting! We will display the latitude- longitude co-ordinates of the point that the user clicks on the map! Doing this is not at all complex! Copy paste the following code and you will see for yourself a map coming to life!     The output of the above code looks as seen in the result section above! If you have any queries regarding the above code please comment on the blog post or feel free to contact me at my mail ID .

Where does Google get it's live traffic data from?

Referring to a post that I wrote earlier, Google’s - Live traffic Layer , ever wondered how Google collected this data? I was wondering the other day, how Google received live data to display it on their maps as a layer! I looked up the web and found something very interesting and am sharing the same with you all. As we all know, the traffic layer is available most accurately in several states in USA. Most major metro areas in the US have sensors embedded in their highways. These sensors track real time traffic data. Easy to miss at high speeds (hopefully anyway, traffic permitting), more commonly noticed may be the similar sensors that often exist at many busy intersections that help the traffic lights most efficiently let the most amount of people through. The information from these tracking sensors is reported back to the Department of Transportation (DOT). The DOT uses this data to update some of the digital signs that report traffic conditions in many metro areas. They als...

The Bicycling Layer...

    Recreational cyclists and bike commuters alike can plot cycle-friendly routes, find trails, and avoid snarling traffic with Google Map's Bicycle layer. Map's bike-friendly, green-toned map layer is very eye-pleasing. The Google Maps API allows you to add bicycle information to your maps using the BicyclingLayer object.     The BicyclingLayer renders a layer of bike paths, suggested bike routes and other overlays specific to bicycling usage on top of the given map. Additionally, the layer alters the style of the base map itself to emphasize streets supporting bicycle routes and de-emphasize streets inappropriate for bicycles.     Let us have a look at the following example. The code has a map which is centered at Pune, India. There are very few cycle tracks in Pune and so you will see just a few dark green lines on the map. But if you would change the latitude-longitude values in the code and center the map at USA, then you will see a...
