Asia: Africa: North America: Central America and the Caribbean: Mexico: 10 Street View Games to Kill Your Day. 1. GeoGuessr There are lots of 'Can you guess the Street View? ' type games but there is only one GeoGuessr. GeoGuessr is probably the most popular Google Maps geography game. In this geography game you are shown a random Street View image and you must try to guess where in the world the Street View was taken. Once you have guessed you are shown how close your guess was to the correct location and awarded points based on how near you guessed. What really sets GeoGuessr apart from other Street View guessing games is GeoSettr! 2. This one isn't strictly a game but who isn't going to have fun seeing their house turned into Lego. Type your address into this Legoized Google Map and then drop the Lego Pegman onto your street.
Brick Street View works by using the undocumented depth data stored in Street View. 3. Have you ever wanted to cherry bomb your house. 4.

World population - uneven development. Health care spending Up to now all of the maps have been based on data from the United Nations. This map shows data from the OECD on healthcare spending and while it does not cover as much of the world as the UN data, it tells an interesting story.
The map pop-ups show the spend per head of population and the theoretical cost of one year's life in that country, given its life expectancy and the amount of money spent on healthcare. So, in the UK for example, healthcare spending is calculated as being U$3,971 and that works about at U$49 per year of life expectancy. Examine the pattern shown on the map. You may want to go back and check out life expectancy information from Map 1. 1) Which countries' populations appear to be getting best value for money? 2) Could some of the patterns you noted from Maps 1, 2, 6, 9 and 12 be partly explained by the information on this map? StoryMap JS - Telling stories with maps. Radio Garden – Phuket island Radio. Use Google Maps to Tell a Story Within a Story. Google's My Maps platform lets anyone who has a Google Account create their own multimedia maps.
One of my favorite features within the My Maps platform is the option to create a slideshow of images and videos within a placemark. By using that feature you can tell a story within a story. In My Maps you can create maps that contain placemarks to identify landmarks, to indicate the locations of a series of events, and to show the start and end points of journey. Within all of those placemarks you can include text descriptions, images, and videos. Students can include pictures they've taken and videos they have made. Students can also use the search tools integrated into My Maps to find images and videos to use within their placemarks.Applications for Education You can apply this concept of using My Maps to tell a story to a variety of subject areas.

In the 20th century the world tended to be framed by the East-West relations and the North-South problem. Our interest has been mainly on land since it has been our living environment. Meanwhile from the late 20th century the resources and environment problems have spread our interests over the polar regions and oceans such as, (1) Sea ice around the North pole representing the global warming, (2) Territorial sea claims for marine resources, (3) An ozone hole above the South Pole, (4) Melting glaciers in Greenland, a cause that may submerge Tuvalu, (5) El Nino in the ocean, a cause of an unusual weather that eventually influence to the economy on land.
The AuthaGraphic world map aims to provide a new view point to perceive the world by equally showing these interests spread over the globe.

The World of Seven Billion The map shows population density; the brightest points are the highest densities. Each country is colored according to its average annual gross national income per capita, using categories established by the World Bank (see key below). Some nations— like economic powerhouses China and India—have an especially wide range of incomes. But as the two most populous countries, both are lower middle class when income is averaged per capita.
Map Projection Transitions. List of map projections. This list/table provides an overview of the most significant map projections, including those listed on Wikipedia. It is sortable by the main fields. Inclusion in the table is subjective, as there is no definitive list of map projections. Table of projections[edit] Key[edit] The designation "deployed" means popularisers/users rather than necessarily creators. Type of projection[edit] Cylindrical: In standard presentation, these map regularly-spaced meridians to equally spaced vertical lines, and parallels to horizontal lines.Pseudocylindrical: In standard presentation, these map the central meridian and parallels as straight lines. Properties[edit] Conformal: Preserves angles locally, implying that locally shapes are not distorted.Equal Area: Areas are conserved.Compromise: Neither conformal or equal-area, but a balance intended to reduce overall distortion.Equidistant: All distances from one (or two) points are correct.
Notes[edit] Further reading[edit] James P. Welcome to the buckymap puzzle! Dymaxion Map. Also know as the "Dymaxion Map," the Fuller Projection Map is the only flat map of the entire surface of the Earth which reveals our planet as one island in one ocean, without any visually obvious distortion of the relative shapes and sizes of the land areas, and without splitting any continents.
It was developed by R. Buckminster Fuller who "By 1954, after working on the map for several decades," finally realized a "satisfactory deck plan of the six and one half sextillion tons Spaceship Earth. " Traditional world maps reinforce the elements that separate humanity and fail to highlight the patterns and relationships emerging from the ever evolving and accelerating process of globalization.
All flat world map representations of the spherical globe contain some amount of distortion either in shape, area, distance or direction measurements. The word Dymaxion, Spaceship Earth and the Fuller Projection Map are trademarks of the Buckminster Fuller Institute. All rights reserved. Mercator Puzzle! All about Portolans : Previous items of the month : Item of the month : Archive & Library : Collections by type : Our collections : Researchers. Persia: Bound in an atlas of twenty-four cartographic items titled: 'Seekarten von Battista Agnese Anno MDLIV.d.IV.May.', c.1554 April' s item of the month looks at one of the most fascinating collections in the NMM Manuscript archives: portolan charts.
Consisting of fifty-eight manuscript atlases and around fifty larger charts, the collection spans three centuries of navigational practice before mass-produced printed charts displaced them during the eighteenth century. The precise definition of portolans varies but they share certain characteristics. Portolan charts are a type of navigational sea chart, concerned with coastlines and ports, rather than features inland. Many of the portolans that have survived are astonishingly detailed and elaborately decorated. Portolans began to disappear from the early eighteenth century, replaced by printed charts that cost far less to produce.

Google Expands Underwater Street View To New Locations. Google today added a couple of new locations to its underwater Street View imagery collection, including a number spots around Monaco, Cancun and Isla Mujeres. Google unveiled underwater Street View back in 2012 and has been expanding it (very) slowly ever since. The company has partnered with the Catalin Seaview Survey on this project and uses a number of special underwater cameras to capture the panoramic images its uses for this project.
By last summer, the collection featured six locations, including reefs around Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, the Philippines and Hawaii. It also now features locations off the coast of Bermuda, though one of the more ambitious projects for Street View was surely the addition of the Galapagos Islands last May. During a presentation at its I/O developer conference last year, Google explained that the divers typically cover about 2 kilometers and take between 3,000 and 4,000 images per dive during their expeditions.
