Neste tutorial vou abordar o uso da ferramenta para visualização de mapas, o Google Maps API. Esta API é fornecida para utilização pela Google de forma gratuita, mas alguns termos de uso deve ser respeitado por quem deseja aplicar a ferramenta em seu site ou sistema. Vou destacar como o mais importante, o mapa tem que ter acesso publico, ou seja, mesmo que os dados do sistema sejam privados e com controle de acesso dos usuários do mesmo, o conteúdo referente ao mapa tem que poder ser acessado por qualquer usuário sendo ele do sistema ou não.

Strangest Sights in Google Street Views In May 2007 Google began adding Street Views to its Google Maps service for San Francisco, New York, Las Vegas, Miami, and Denver. Within weeks people starting spotting unusual, interesting, and unexplained street scenes and shared them online . Today, over 200 cities have Street View shots for people to explore, and the number of weird things caught sight of has exploded. During our trek through Google Maps we found a chicken carcass the size of a large SUV, a car covered in Post-It notes, and what looks like a UFO parked in a back yard. We've collected a few of the oddest and most intriguing sights.
Dubbed the "Badlands Guardian" by locals, this geological marvel (Google Earth coordinates 50.010083,-110.113006) in Alberta, Canada, bears an uncanny resemblance to a human head wearing a full Native American headdress--and earphones, to boot. Of course, The Guardian was produced naturally. A synthetic wonder that can be truly appreciated only from above, this giant man-shaped lake (-21.805149,-49.089977) is located near Bauru, Brazil. This heart-shaped island in the Adriatic became a hit on Google Earth for Valentine's Day. The uninhabited island is only 130,000 square yards and is called Galesnjak.

More than ever, the internet has enabled us to work in global and distributed teams. Whether as part of our jobs, voluntary ventures, or joint blogs, working with people around the world has become part of life for many of us. Sometimes, it is so easy that we don’t even know where the people we’re working with are located. Shared, collaborative Google Maps can help solve that issue and improve the perception of proximity by creating a visualization of all the team members’ location.

During the UN Climate Change Conference held in Copenhagen this week, Google unveiled an advanced Google Earth prototype that allows satellite imagery to show and measure the progression of deforestation in regions around the world. Google teamed up with software experts Greg Asner, from Carnegie Institution for Science, and Carlos Souza, from Imazon (both institutions with forest data programs used in Latin America) and created a “cloud-based computing” technology that gathers all satellite imagery data for a region and displays them in a user-friendly format. AFTER: Deforestation in Mato Grosso, Brazil (Augustin 2009-September 2009) using SAD technology created by Carolos Souza. Red signifies recent deforestation. AFTER: Deforestation in Rondonia, Brazil (1986-2008) using CLASlite technology created by Greg Asner.
