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?

My first blog!

          " W hy is it that there are no Goolge Maps API examples which show India specific data?"...This question kept bothering me all through my learning phase. I always thought why aren't there any examples that use a map which shows Indian locations. Anybody who is new to Google Maps API application development would love to see a location that he knows of on the map! This is what I longed for all the way through and now have decided to put up simple examples and other supporting data for building customised simple Google Maps and all will show locations in India! When starting something new, if one finds something familiar out there, then it gives a feeling of comfort! And this is what I will try to provide to all those out there who are facing a similar problem that I faced! I am not an expert at Google Maps API, I am learning too...But, I will like to help out people along the way! So, all comments from the novice to the profession...

What is GIS?

          Once I started writing this blog, I received a number of feedbacks from readers asking me to write something about what exactly GIS is. So here is some information, that will give you an idea about " What is GIS?

GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts.             A GIS helps you answer questions and solve problems by looking at your data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared. GIS technology can be integrated into any enterprise information system framework.     ...

Ground Truth - How Google Builds Maps

    Todays's article is cross posted from The Atlantic 's Tech section. The article was posted by Alexis Madrigal who is a senior editor at The Atlantic , where he oversees the Technology channel. So, thanks to The Atlantic and Alexis Madrigal, we will have an exclusive look inside Ground Truth , the secretive program to build the world's best accurate maps.     Behind every Google Map, there is a much more complex map that's the key to your queries but hidden from your view. The deep map contains the logic of places: their no-left-turns and freeway on-ramps, speed limits and traffic conditions. This is the data that you're drawing from when you ask Google to navigate you from point A to point B -- and last week, Google showed me the internal map and demonstrated how it was built. It's the first time the company has let anyone watch how the project it calls GT, or "Ground Truth," actually works.     Google opened up at a key moment in its evo...
