Digital Urban

In the words of NASA - Many wonders are visible when flying over the Earth at night. A compilation of such visual spectacles was captured recently from the International Space Station (ISS) and set to rousing music. Passing below are white clouds, orange city lights, lightning flashes in thunderstorms, and dark blue seas. http://www.digitalurban.blogspot.com/

The Map Room: A Weblog About Maps

The Map Room is a blog about maps by Jonathan Crowe . It was published between March 2003 and June 2011, and covered everything from antique map collecting to the latest in geospatial technology. The Map Room came to an end on June 30, 2011 , but you can still browse more than 4,000 entries in the archives . I also still post occasionally to The Map Room’s Twitter and Facebook pages.

January 27th, 2010 by Jeffrey Warren A group of activists, educators, technologists, and community organizers now known as Public Laboratory came together to organize the Gulf Oil Mapping project . Since May 2010, we have been working with New Orleans-based Louisiana Bucket Brigade to get Gulf Coast residents out on boats and along beaches to produce high-resolution aerial imagery of the spill’s effects.

Geotagging - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotagging Geotagging (also written as GeoTagging ) is the process of adding geographical identification metadata to various media such as a geotagged photograph or video, websites, SMS messages, QR Codes [ 1 ] or RSS feeds and is a form of geospatial metadata . These data usually consist of latitude and longitude coordinates , though they can also include altitude , bearing , distance, accuracy data, and place names. Geotagging can help users find a wide variety of location-specific information. For instance, one can find images taken near a given location by entering latitude and longitude coordinates into a suitable image search engine . Geotagging-enabled information services can also potentially be used to find location-based news, websites, or other resources. [ 2 ] Geotagging can tell users the location of the content of a given picture or other media or the point of view , and conversely on some media platforms show media relevant to a given location.

http://www.geobloggers.com/ ゴルフに親しんでいる人達にとっては、常にゴルフ用品にも熱い視線が注がれています。美しいドライバーやアイアンは、ひとつの芸術品のような仕上がりとなっているものも多い現代ですから、既に既存のゴルフクラブセットを一揃え所持している人であっても、趣味であるゴルフに対しては、ゴルフに付随する品にも、糸目をつけたくないと願っている方々も、非常に多いことも事実です。ゴルフーボールを、より遠くへ飛ばす事の出来る良い新製品のドライバーなどは、まさに喉から手の出そうな一品なのです。 しかし、住まいの近くにゴルフ用品の専門店がなかったり、多忙を極める日常の中で、ゴルフ用品店まで足を運ぶ時間が見つからないゴルファーにとっては、そこは悩ましいところとなりますので、そんな時にこそ、ゴルフ用品の通販ショップが、とても役に立ってくれる筈です。ゴルフ用品全般を全て扱っている通販を利用すれば、コースで必要となるあらゆる品々が、自宅に居ながらにして自由の選択出来て、しかも安価で購入することも可能なのです。

http://www.mygeoposition.com/ just want to tell you a bit more about my latest application, which results from the following problem: Everytime I created a map / geotags for a customer's website, I had problems with quick & easy geocoding his position - especially when he was living in the countryside. Google Maps often has no accrurate geocoding for street numbers in the countryside or sends you completely into the nirvana. At the moment, time this service is available in English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Chinese and Portuguese. Check "Language" to download a language file and to translate it. Of course we will state your name and add a backlink to your website :-)
