Google Cube: Because you’re dying to play a game about Google Maps

Me too. Google has released its Google Cube game, to be played once and forgotten. It’s fun to play for novice gamers (see: me) or someone looking to kill some time, but at its core, it’s a promotional vehicle. You go through eight different levels: Manhattan, San Francisco, Paris, London, Tokyo, Las Vegas, the Mall of America, and a mix-match of all the different cities combined. You must use your cursor to guide a little blue ball through a maze of city streets and mall hallways to reach predetermined locations. You can access the game through playmapscube.com. The game was originally suspected to be for Google’s social network, Google+. Though the game itself is fairly lackluster, the promo video for it is actually pretty cool and involves a real, large cube turned by people in white gloves. Hat tip Fusible Don't let cyber attacks kill your game!

Api Google Map V3. Directions Service - Google Maps JavaScript API v3. Overview You can calculate directions (using a variety of methods of transportation) by using the DirectionsService object.

Directions Service - Google Maps JavaScript API v3

This object communicates with the Google Maps API Directions Service which receives direction requests and returns computed results. You may either handle these directions results yourself or use the DirectionsRenderer object to render these results. Directions may specify origins and destinations either as text strings (e.g. "Chicago, IL" or "Darwin, NSW, Australia") or as LatLng values. Directions Requests Accessing the Directions service is asynchronous, since the Google Maps API needs to make a call to an external server. To use directions in V3, create an object of type DirectionsService and call DirectionsService.route() to initiate a request to the Directions service, passing it a DirectionsRequest object literal containing the input terms and a callback method to execute upon receipt of the response.
