We’ve enabled direct connections to outside PostgreSQL databases. You can use your data directly in GIS Cloud, without need to previously upload or import data. Allow external connections to the database, create a new connection, set database settings to establish the connection, and you’re ready to create maps. It is simple as that. Read More

Geo APIs Summer Learning Series: GIS with Google Earth and Google Maps
This session at Google I/O demonstrated how developers can take advantage of new and little known GIS capabilities in all of our geo services. We started out showing some of the GIS capabilities in Google Maps API , which amongst other features, lets you calculate distances and angles and overlay map tiles in arbitrary projections. Moving onto some new and upcoming products, we showed off some of the capabilities of Google Earth Builder , a new platform to manage and publish large amounts of raster and vector GIS data.Google Deal Lets SAP Customers Map Data -- InformationWeekGoogle Deal Lets SAP Customers Map Data - software Blog
SAP has teamed up with Google to enable its customers to mashup data with the search giant's mapping capabilities so they can visually report on business conditions such as sales by territory, loan risk by region, or defaults by neighborhood. SAP and Google have already collaborated to enable customers to plot data on Google Maps within the SAP Streamwork, BusinessObjects Explorer, and Crystal Reports interfaces. But those mashups use the publically available Google Maps application programming interfaces (APIs). Through a deeper partnership announced Wednesday, SAP customers will get discounts on Google geospatial data and improved integration capabilities though private Google APIs. "It's still a mashup approach, but the private APIs will support tighter, industrial-strength integration with functionality not available from the public APIs," Jonathan Becher, SAP's executive vice president of marketing, said in an interview.
The Keyhole Markup Language (KML) is an open standard for geographic data presentation. There are over one billion KML files on the web, and yet the vast majority of these files are points on a map. In High Performance KML for Maps and Earth, Sean Askay and I covered advanced techniques for using KML in Google Earth and the Earth API, as well as introduced other Google platforms that support KML. Our hope is that developers will discover the power of using KML on Google’s platform.

Infographic Of The Day: Using Twitter And Flickr Geotags To Map The World | Co.Design
That map you see above isn't a picture of the earth, seen from space. Rather, it's a map of the locations attached to every tweet and Flickr photo. What results is a remarkable picture of how each service has spread across the globe. The maps were created by Eric Fischer, who is something of a mapping savant: Previously, he created these amazing maps of racial segregation and these maps of Flickr geotags . But this time, there's a new level of insight and richness that results from mapping Flickr and Twitter against each other. At the very broadest levels, you have a map of the very different ways that Flickr and Twitter have spread across the world.Maps

Mapping development just got a whole lot easier. With the Bing Maps AJAX Control 7.0, Spatial Data Services, and mobile SDKs, you can build simple or complex maps that render fast, feature stunning imagery, and are pinpoint accurate.
BING MAPS PLATFORM - Bing Maps – Create and Connect with Maps APIs from Microsoft
Deb Purcell, Pitney Bowes Business Insight With so much new data available today to drive effective health care decisions, perhaps the most underutilized is location-based information. When effectively tagged, compiled and analyzed, location intelligence empowers providers and pharmacies to choose the best locations, plan administrators to find and fill voids in their coverage, payers to identify fraudulent transactions, and pharmaceutical companies to optimize sales territories. Leveraging the power of location intelligence in this era of reform, where pressures for improved efficiency meet increasingly electronic records, will help all industry participants and improve patient care and outcomes.
