HOW TO: Get the Most Out of Google Maps. Google Maps has become the standard mapping utility for everything from getting directions and finding nearby food options to viewing the surface of the moon. Are you getting the most out of your Google Maps experience? Keep reading to get some helpful hints on how to maximize (or minimize) all your mapping desires.
The Basics Be specific. You’ll find what you’re looking for if you type exactly what it is you want to map. If you’re looking for gas stations, which is especially handy when using the mobile version on the road, just type “gas.” Don’t forget to drag the little man icon onto the map for street view (where available), or select “More” to view photos and/or wikipedia entries associated with your search. Keyboard Shortcuts You can use your keyboard’s arrow keys to move your view slightly North (up arrow), South (down arrow), East (right arrow), or West (left arrow). For a bigger jump, use the page up and page down keys to dramatically move North and South. Advanced Tricks GasBuddy. DIY GPS Hacking Projects | Hack N Mod - Amazingly Cool Hacks, Mo.

Google Earth puts an entire planet's worth of useful, relevant, and just plain weird content at your fingertips. As you saw in "The Strangest Sights in Google Earth," some things in this world are simply out of this world. To find such wonderful sights, you can call on a large library of Earth add-ons. As authors of the Web site Google Sightseeing, we see a lot of these add-ons and collections. What follows is a list of 10 of our favorites. Note that some of the links go straight to .kml or .kmz files, which Google Earth can read.
Orientation Aware Camera. I started this project without really having any idea where it would end up. I started off by deciding it could be interesting to build a device that would sample a 3-axis magnetometer and a 3-axis accelerometer and send that data to my computer via USB. Devices very much like that are often sold as a 'tilt compensated compass', and go for $250-500. I made mine for about $150. I happen to live in the same town as my new favorite hobby electronics site, SparkFun, so I ordered the accelerometer and magnetometer from them, and I was able to pick them up in person a couple days later. Next, I needed a way to get the data from the sensors to my computer. I wanted a USB connection, but I'd never done anything with USB before, and a little research into the controller chips told me that was a lot more trouble than I was willing to deal with. Well, not quite. (If you're wondering, that box is a Hammond Manufacturing 1455 series enclosure.

Chris Harrison - GPS Project. This page describes the steps I went through in my project to connect a Garmin eTrex Summit GPS device to a Nikon D200 camera body in order to record location information in the EXIF data of images captured using the setup. While this procedure worked fine for me, I do not take any responsibility for you or your equipment should you try this yourself. All images can be found in the "Equipment" photoset on my flickr account, here. A parts list in PDF format can be downloaded here. There are seven steps: Step 1 - The circuit diagram and initial circuit layout Step 2 - Soldering the components and jumpers to the breadboard Step 3 - Constructing the box to house the GPS Step 4 - Second stage of soldering, fixing camera and GPS cables, and fitting remote release socket Step 5 - Making the false floor to support the GPS and protect the circuitry and components Step 6 - Painting/finishing Step 7 - Constructing new Garmin to PC cable and downgrading GPS firmware.
Mapnik C++/Python GIS Toolkit | Welcome. Importing Imagery. There are three main ways you can import imagery into Google Earth: Image overlay - (Add > Image Overlay) This is an image that is draped over the surface of the earth (though it can appear elevated as well). Among other things, this feature is useful for importing image files of maps. The picture to the left is an example of an image overlay. Photo - (Add > Photo) This is an image placed in a geographic location that you and other users can fly into and navigate. You can see examples in the Layers panel > Gallery > Gigapxl. GIS imagery - (Google Earth Pro only: File > Open) These are GIS-related files, such as .tif, .geotif, .ntf, .img, etc. The larger your image files, the more performance becomes an issue.
WikiPediaVision (beta) How Google Earth [Really] Works. Introduction After reading an article called "How Google Earth Works" on the great site HowStuffWorks.com, it became apparent that the article was more of a "how cool it is" and "here’s how to use it" than a "how Google Earth [really] works. " So I thought there might be some interest, and despite some valid intellectual property concerns, here we are, explaining how at least part of Google Earth works. Keep in mind, those IP issues are real. Keyhole (now known as Google Earth) was attacked once already with claims that they copied someone else’s inferior (IMO) technology. The suit was completely dismissed by a judge, but only after many years of pain. Still, it highlights one problem of even talking about this stuff.
Anyway, the solution to discussing "How Google Earth [Really] Works" is to stick to information that has already been disclosed in various forms, especially in Google’s own patents, of which there are relatively few. 1. 3. Part 1, The Result: Drawing a 3D Virtual Globe. HKL - Public Transport Map.
Cool Tool: GPS & Google Earth Solution. I have been doing a lot of exploring and surveying in the desert recently, and have been trying to find the right GPS mapping solution. The solution I found incorporated stuff I already had (laptop and GPS) with the help of some excellent, nearly free software. The best part is that it works even better than the $900 in-car GPS solutions as it uses always up-to-date satellite data, and is easily sharable.
Basically you run Google Earth and use some great donation-ware to link it in real time to a GPS. This means that your mapping software and maps worldwide are not only free, but you also get hi-res satellite views and in some cases 3D buildings (in downtown areas). Only a year or so ago this would have cost tens of thousands of dollars in proprietary GPS mapping gear; it would be difficult to share it once done; each map and satellite shot would cost extra; and it would have been an ordeal to get it all loaded up and working properly for each area you wanted to go. – Alexander Rose.
