I love you, google!

I decided I’ve posted too many times today, so I combined 3 posts into one (retroactively), and now I’m wasting even more of your F-list talking about it. Yay!

Also, I made a new travel icon.

EDIT: Hooooly crap. I just added gasbuddy.com to google maps (via their brand-new “mapplets”) and it’s a whole new world (a whole new world!)

By the way, have you tried the new Street view? Select cities only, but rapidly expanding.

      • Its just no good, guess i was busy MAKING maps not enough time to blog about em. I also blame all of my sources for being out of town for the weekend and telling me nothing!

        I have been looking at other various GMaps mashup tools, Im still waiting for a good collaborative kml generator, should be soon i would hope, just need to add in the ability to allow friends edit the maps just like you can allow them to edit your google spreadsheets and such.

          • ha, KML (keyhole markup language) is what all of the data in google maps/earth is in. Kinda like an xml file. Basically I want to be able to make a map, add some points, then let a select few people also change and add points.

            In beekeeper speak, I would put a point at a phone booth, say this phone does not work, for other beekeepers to see and allow only other beekeepers to add axon locations and such and say I have this one! maybe add a pic as well. all sorts of good fun stuff!

  3. This is where I used to live. Well, the building to the left; addresses are approximate, they say.

    VERY cool.

  4. re: gas buddy

    This is what the internet should be heading for. Maps with context specific information that is readily available, and updated in near real time (I think the prices in Lansing are updated a couple times a day, depending on what ppl are up to.)
