Searching for a Home with Natural Light
sur Google Maps Mania

RealScout is an interesting new San Francisco real-estate search engine that allows you to search for properties by a number of characteristics, such as properties with large backyards, lots of natural light or in need of refurbishment.

Like most property search engines RealScout allows you to search for properties by price, location and number of bedrooms / bathrooms. However RealScout also allows you to add a number of other requirements that are important in your property search.

For example, you can add a requirement to your search to only show properties that have hardwood floors, have a luxury bathroom and a gourmet kitchen. All the results of your search are displayed on a Google Map. The map includes your category search requirements as selectable tags so you can refine your search simply by deleting a tag or selecting another category from the drop-down menu.

Banish the Monday Blues with Google Maps
sur Google Maps Mania

Why not start the week than with a little geography guessing game.

GeoGuessr is a Street View geography quiz that sets you the challenge of guessing the locations of a series of random Street View images. Using visual clues, such as the fauna, landscape and street furniture you have to place a pin on a global Google Map indicating where you think each Street View image was taken.

The closer your guess to the actual location then the more points you win.

Locatestreet is a very similar game that presents a series of random Street Views and the player has to guess the country where the image was captured.

The featured terrain, architecture, street furniture and modes of transport all provide clues that can help the player guess the country of origin of the random Street View image. The game also includes three clues for each image, but be warned - if you use a clue you will win less points.

The Google Maps of the Week
sur Google Maps Mania

Over the last couple of weeks Street View Hyperlapse has rightly received a lot of praise. The app uses Hyperlapse.js, Three.js, GSVPano.js, and the Google Maps API to create really smooth animated Street View movies.

Users of Street View Hyperlapse can search for any location that has Google Street View coverage and create their own animated movie. All you need to do is drop two map markers on a map to show the start and end of your drive and then press 'create'. The result is a really smooth animated drive using Google Maps Street View.

Pick Me Up - Cartograph is another very impressive use of Street View.

Created for this year's graphic arts festival 'Pick Me Up 2013' Cartograph uses Google Maps Street View to take the exhibition outside the confines of the gallery in Somerset House and into augmented digital locations around London.

Locations around London have been chosen by the artists for their relevance to the artwork and then the art has been superimposed over those locations in Street View.

Another map that has received a lot of praise this week is SF Live Bus. SF Live Bus is a live animated map that shows the location of all the buses on San Francisco's Muni network in real-time. Just load up the app and sit back and watch the Muni buses as they travel around the city on the map.

If you like real-time mapped transit visualisations then you should also have a look at One Map, One Week in Public Transit. In this Google Map Vasile Cotovanu uses his popular vehicle simulator to present a simulated real-time map of Geneva's TPG tram network.

Mapping the Boston Marathon Bombings
sur Google Maps Mania

It is surprising how few news stories are illustrated with online maps. This week's tragic bombing at the end of the Boston Marathon and the ensuing hunt for the suspects proved however to be a notable exception.

The New York Times went with a static 'bird's eye' aerial view of Boylston St in Boston to show the location of the two bomb explosions and the marathon finishing line. Whilst most other online news sites opted for annotated maps of the scene the Times' Site of the Explosions at the Boston Marathon aerial photograph, was for me the most evocative visualisation of the tragic events.

Boston.com used Leaflet to create a map that allowed Bostonians and other witnesses to add their own accounts of the events to a map of Boston. The Boston Marathon Bombings: Your Story provided a compelling means for eye witnesses to share their own stories of the day's tragic events.

The shooting of one of the Tsarnaev brothers and the subsequent 22 hour manhunt for the other brother led to a proliferation of online maps as news sites and citizen journalists tried to provide some geographical context to the unfolding events. Again the New York Times provided one of the best mapped visualisations for the hunt for the bombing suspects.

The Hunt for the Boston Bombing Suspects uses a static Google Map with interactive hotspots to provide a narrative of the hunt for Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev.

Readers can either click on the interactive map markers to read the accompanying text or can simply scroll down the page. As the reader scrolls the map itself is held in place and as each stage in the news narrative appears below the map the relevant location is highlighted on the map.

Street View Arrives in India
sur Google Maps Mania

Google Maps has gone for a very low key approach to its launch of Street View in India.

This week some small patches of Street View have appeared on Google Maps in Bangalore. All the imagery appears to me to be in private resorts, hotels, museums and other venues and not on public roads and streets.

Here are the Street View locations I've found so far:

Janapada Loka Folk Museum
Wonderla
Soukya International Holistic Health Center
Olde Bangalore Resort
Clarks Exotica
Prakruthi Club & Resort

If you find any other Street View imagery in Banglaore or other Indian cities post a link in the comments.

Locations around London have been chosen by the artists for their relevance to the artwork and then the art has been superimposed over those locations in Street View.

Some of the artworks have been placed on tower blocks, some appear in doorways or, as in this amazing spinning 3d virtual sculpture, appear floating over the pitch at Wembley Stadium.

Historical Photos of the American Midwest
sur Google Maps Mania

Historic Natural Disasters is a really interesting project that is using Google Maps and Google Maps Street View to find the modern views of the locations pictured in historic photos from the floods and tornadoes that hit the American Midwest in 1913.

The site allows users to view historical photographs taken in the Midwest in 1913 side-by-side with the view as it is seen today on Google Maps Street View. Each photo also includes a link to a Google Map showing the location of where the photograph was taken.

In order to help geo-tag some of the photographs in their collection Historic Natural Disasters are running a Mapping History contest. To take part in the contest all you need to do is search Google Maps to find a potential, current-day location to match the view shown in the so far unlocated historical photographs. The images are labeled by city, and state, to give you a head start in your search.

When the contest is over, a submission will be drawn at random, and that person will win a $100 Amazon gift code provided by Historic Natural Disasters and insurancetown.com.

The Giro d'Italia on Google Maps
sur Google Maps Mania

The Giro d'Italia is an annual bike race primarily held in Italy. This year's race takes place from May 4th until Sunday May 26th.

Cycling the Alps creates detailed Google Maps and Google Earth tours for most of the major European cycle races and this year's Giro d'Italia is no exception. On Cycling the Alps you can find detailed Google Maps of each of the tour's stages. For each stage you can view a detailed stage profile, view a 3d tour of each stage using the Google Earth plug-in and even play a Google Earth cycling game of each stage.

This year Cycling the Alps has also created a great preview video of Stage 19 of the race using Google Maps Street View imagery of the beautiful Stelvio Pass.

Android's popular Photo Sphere camera feature allows anyone to create their own 360º panoramas, or photo spheres, and share them publicly on Google Maps.

SphereShare.net provides a nice interface to explore Photo Spheres shared with the SphereShare Android app. The site includes a handy gallery view that allows you to explore the most recently added, most popular and most viewed Photo Spheres. It also includes a Google Map that allows you to search for uploaded Photo Spheres by location.

You can also explore Photo Spheres on Google's own Photo Sphere Map. Google's map allows you to view all public Photo Spheres or you can even view a map showing only your own panoramic images taken with Photo Sphere.

ZoomIn is an interesting way to find out about different locations in New Zealand.

ZoomIn is a wiki map on which anyone can add places, comments, tags and photos. Users can use the ZommIn Google Map to find out how many comments have been added to a specific community and use the search box to search for a specific location.

When you use the search box to search for a location you are shown a Google Map of the area with a general description of the town and neighbourhood and photos of interesting locations. The map itself includes map markers for all the comments left by users in the area. Therefore ZoomIn can be a useful way for discovering some great information about New Zealand locations posted by local people.

The Old New Deal on Google Maps
sur Google Maps Mania

The economic programs enacted in the United States between 1933 and 1936 under Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal not only helped reinvigorate a depressed economy but also left a vast legacy of public works that still exist today.

New Deal airports, schools, hospitals, post offices, art and highways are still in use 75 years after they were built. The Living New Deal Project Map is a Google Map that lets you explore the locations of 3,587 of the New Deal projects that still exist.

The map allows you to explore the projects not only by location but by category, by New Deal agencies and by the name of individual artists.

Mapped Visualisations of Urban Transit Data
sur Google Maps Mania

The Urban Data Challenge invited developers to create visualisations of transport data for San Francisco, Geneva, and Zurich. Unsurprisingly maps were a very popular choice for the developers who took part in the challenge. OpenStreetMaps and the Google Maps API seem to have been the most used tools amongst the winning visualisations.

One of the second prize winners was Frustration Index. Frustation Index uses a styled Google Map to show the level of service for transit services in San Francisco, Geneva, and Zurich.

The map looks at the transit data for one day in each city and visualises frustrations caused by over-crowding, delays, and speeds. The map includes a timeline so users can explore the changing data throughout the day.

One of the third prize winners was A City's Heartbeat. A City's Heartbeat uses Google Maps, CartoDB and D3.js to show three very different mapped visualisations of Geneva's tram network.

The first visualisation allows the user to to playback a mapped animation of tram movements over a two day period. The second visualisation uses a line graph to show the total traffic volume of the entire city.

The third visualisation uses the Google Earth browser plug-in to allow the user to simulate a 3d ride on any of the city's tram routes.

One Map, One Week in Public Transit received an honourable mention. In this visualisation Vasile Cotovanu uses his popular vehicle simulator to present a simulated real-time map of Geneva's TPG transit network.

The map animates the city's transit network based on the published timetables and allows the user to get 'real-time' information about the vehicle timetables, load and average speed.

The Pinball Wizards Google Map
sur Google Maps Mania

Portland Pinball Map has become the Pinball Map and now shows the locations of pinball tables throughout North America.

The site consists of a number of regional maps, each curated by a local administrator, often with the support of a local league. The maps depend on user contributions and users can help keep the maps up-to-date by adding and removing machines from locations, and by submitting new pinball locations.

Users can also comment on a machine’s condition, upload photos of locations, add high scores and find upcoming pinball related events.

Pinball tables are fast becoming an endangered species. Even in France, where in the twentieth century it would have been harder to find a cafe without a table than a cafe with one, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find somewhere to realise your pinball wizard dreams.

Geoflipper can at least help you find one of the dwindling number of cafes and bars in France that hosts a pinball table. If you click on any of the map markers you can get the address of the venue, the name of the pinball tables on site and even get driving directions.

Build it and they will come ...

Baseball-Reference.com has mapped the history of minor league baseball from 1887 up to and including 2013.

The maps are pretty basic but it is interesting to observe the westward growth of baseball through the 19th and 20th centuries. Ideally I'd like to see someone animate this data with either the Google Maps API CanvasLayer library or with CartoDB's Torque library.

Using CartoDB's Torque library it should be easy to create something similar to this animated map of the growth of the US Post Office.

Mapping the Battle of the Tweets
sur Google Maps Mania

The Football Tweet Map from the School of Engineering and Geosciences at Newcastle University allows football fans to visualise Twitter activity around English football teams.

There is a lot here to interest English football fans. For example, it is possible to view heatmaps of Tweets mentioning specific teams. The heatmaps provide an interesting visualisation of the geographic spread of a team's support (and yes London reds do exist).

The menu at the top of the game however lets you actually replay the Twitter activity around specific games (at the moment only three games have been covered). For example, you can view the Tweets from Newcastle and Sunderland fans before, during and after yesterday's North East derby.

I really like the way that important highlights in the game are overlaid on the map showing when the game kicked off, when goals were scored and to indicate half-time etc.

The Maps of the Week
sur Google Maps Mania

This week Young Hahn wrote a very popular article / tutorial for A List Apart. The post, entitled Hack Your Maps, explains some of the design and coding choices made when creating an online interactive map.

The map that Young walks through in the article shows the locations of some of the most important scenes in the Sherlock Holmes story The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans. The map includes some gorgeous map markers, styled map tiles and an innovative scrolling navigation device. It's definitely worth checking out both the map and the article.

This week I came across another really interesting article / tutorial looking at the creation of an animated map of one cab driver's shift in Boston. In Replaying the Night of a Cabbie Dan Shultz explains how he created a map that tells the story of an eight hour cab driver's shift in five minutes.

You can view the animated map itself on this Boston Globe article, The Cab Driver's Map.

I was also really impressed this week by a map by Greenpeace. Into the Arctic is an impressive map that is following the journey of four young Arctic ambassadors as they travel to the North Pole.

The aim of the expedition is to trek to the North Pole and lower a flag 4km to the seabed. Attached to the flag will be a capsule containing more than two and a half million signatures calling for a sanctuary in the uninhabited area around the pole.

The expedition is still continuing so you can check back each day to find out how the young explorers are progressing in their journey to the North Pole.

American folk rock band The Mountain Goats have written a number of songs over the years with the words 'Going to ...' in the title, with a destination completing the song's name.

Going to Somewhere is a fun little Street View application that will take you to a random destination based on one of The Mountain Goats 'Going to ...' songs. Just press 'Go' and you will be transported to a new destination.

The only thing missing from this app is the actual music. It would be great if you could actually listen to the relevant song when a new location is shown.

Planning Resource has used Google Maps with Fusion Tables to map the growth in households in England. The number of households in England is projected to grow to 24.3 million in 2021. Planning Resource has two Google Maps to help visualise where most of that growth is expected to take place.

One map shows the projected increase in household growth between 2011 and 2021 by local authority. The other map displays 2011 household projections compared with 2008 household projections, showing which local authorities' projections have increased and those where the projections have decreased.

Before Street View there was Overdrive
sur Google Maps Mania

In the 1960's artist Ed Ruscha started documenting the buildings along LA's major boulevards by taking continuous photographs. Ed Ruscha's Streets of Los Angeles is now on view in the Overdrive Exhibition at the J Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.

If the video above is any guide then the exhibition should prove fascinating. The video compares two continuous pans along Hollywood Boulevard, comparing the street in 1973 and 2002.

Artist Ant Carpendale has taken Street View as the inspiration for his short film The New View You. The film is an interesting look at identity and privacy in the digital age.

The ever increasing indoor Street View coverage on Google Maps is leading many companies to become ever more imaginative in how they present themselves on Google Maps. I like this Street View scene created by BDDP Unlimitef.

The Guardian's North Korea v South Korea Incident Map shows the location of over 150 incidents between the two countries since the Korean War in 1950.

The map covers every incident between the two countries, from diplomatic hostilities, through to more serious incidents involving fatalities. The map allows the user to view all the incidents in one or to filter the results by decade. The white markers indicate diplomatic or non-military incidents and the red markers display those incidents involving the military.

The map is part of The Guardian's Data Blog which means all the data has been made available to download. So if you think you can create a better visualisation of the data you are free to try.

Citizen Cartography
sur Google Maps Mania

The launch of OpenStreetMap in 2004 paved the way for crowd-sourced map making. Google itself launched its own Map Maker tool in 2008 to allow users to add details and make amendments to Google Maps. Because of licensing issues with the some of Google Maps' data providers however Map Maker is not available in every country (it was expanded to the UK today).

Old Maps Online

An interesting development in the last couple of years in cartography has been the growth of crowd-sourcing for georeferencing and annotating digitised, high-resolution historic maps. In the UK the British Library has led the way with its historical maps Georeferencing Project. You can view all the crowd-sourced georeferenced maps already completed by the British Library on the Old Maps Online website.

MapHub

A similar project has just been launched by Cornell Information Science with support from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Vienna. MapHub is an online application for exploring and annotating digitized, high-resolution historic maps. Using MapHub users are able to annotate historical maps and georeference locations on the historical maps using Google Maps and Google Earth.

The project has started with approximately 6000 public domain maps taken from the Library of Congress Historic Map division.

When I fist saw this Grateful Dead Shows map my first thought was that the remaining band members had decided to organise a really, really big reunion tour. On closer inspection however the map seems to be a map of all the venues that the Grateful Dead have ever played.

It is isn't often that we feature a non-API map on Google Maps Mania but there is something lo-fi about this embedded Google My Map that seems appropriate to the band being memorialised. What's more the map is still useful to any music fans interested in the many live appearances of the Grateful Dead.

Users can chat with each other directly from the map. You can either click on one of the balloon-markers on the map to join an existing conversation or you can choose a free spot on the map to create a new chatroom at this location. The map sidebar also provides links to current conversations.

The ChatMap app also comes with some pretty nifty embed options that not only allow anyone to embed the map on their own website but to style the map to suit their website's design. Simply by changing a few parameters in the embed URL it is possible to change the map marker image, the colour of the map tiles and the initial map centre and zoom level.

The image above shows how the colours of the embedded map can be easily changed to match the colour scheme of any website.

I'll Name That Street View in Ten
sur Google Maps Mania

One of my favourite Street View games has been updated with some great new features. Locatestreet presents a series of random Street Views to the user and the player has to guess the country where the image was captured.

There have been a number of similar games in the past that have asked players to guess locations from Google Maps satellite images. Using Street View images instead of satellite images presents a far more interesting challenge in my opinion as the player has far more visual clues from which to work.

The featured terrain, architecture, street furniture, modes of transport all provide clues that can help the player guess the country of origin of the random Street View image. The games also includes three clues for each image, but be warned - if you use a clue you will win less points.

Among the many new features on Locatestreet is the option to play the game worldwide (guess the country) or to play in any country (guess the region) where Google Maps has Street View coverage.

Create Your Own Google Maps Persian Rugs
sur Google Maps Mania

Artist David Thomas Smith has been getting a lot of press in the last week for his Anthropocene exhibition, currently showing at the Cooper House Gallery in Dublin.

Smith's work consists of a series of Google Maps satellite images cut up, copied and stitched together to create what many are describing as like Google Maps based Persian rugs. The images hosted on the gallery's website do look very impressive and if you are in Dublin you should definitely visit the exhibition.

However, if you can't get to Dublin, don't worry as you can recreate this effect in a matter of seconds with #rorschmap. #rorschmap uses the Google Maps API to create a kaleidoscope for any location on the Earth. Essentially the application displays the Google Maps satellite view of a location and, using the same principle of multiple reflection that you find in kaleidoscopes, creates an animated Rorschach test effect.

If that doesn't impress you then why not try #rorschmap Street View Edition. Just enter your address into the app and you can drop-down the rabbit-hole and create a kaleidoscope from the Street View of your own home!

Mercator Projections & the Tissot Indicatrix
sur Google Maps Mania

The introduction of draggable polygons into the Google Maps API has proved very popular with developers. A number of developers have used draggable polygons to demonstrate the effects of Google using the Mercator Projection in Google Maps.

Google itself created a demo game, called the Mercator Puzzle. The game uses a number of country shapefiles that when moved along the lines of longitude resize to show the country's correct size anywhere on the map.

Darren Wien's has also used draggable polygons to create a Draggable Tissot Indicatrix. This Google Map places a number of circles (all with a 500km radius) all across the globe. You can see how the Mercator Projection distorts the circles in the screenshot above. In the app itself all the circle polygons are draggable. So, with this interactive Tissot Indicatrix, you can actually move the circles around the map and observe how they grow and shrink along lines of longitude.

The Google Maps of the Week
sur Google Maps Mania

This week Google won the internets with its April Fool's joke - Treasure Map. The Treasure Map even outdid last year's awesome April Fool's joke from the Google Maps team - 8-bit Maps.

I think a large part of the appeal of the treasure map is down to the beautiful map design of Alex Griendling. However, Google's decision to include a number of built in treasure trails on the map was inspired and played a huge part in ensuring the map quickly went viral. Just to provide some context - the Google Maps Mania post introducing Treasure Maps received over four times as much traffic as any other post this week.

BTW - the screenshot above comes from Weigh Anchor, Me Hearties, a real-time pirate tracking map built using the Treasure Map tiles.

Elsewhere this week I was impressed by two trip planning Google Maps based applications.

Outpost is a peer-to-peer trip planner that can help you find a ride to your destination with Ridejoy, book a room with Airbnb and find things to do, once you reach your destination, with Vayable.

To use Outpost you just need to enter a home address and a destination, the dates of your trip and the number of people taking the trip. A route for the trip is then shown on Google Maps, alongside the results for available ride-shares, Airbnb rooms and suggested things to do from Vayable.

The Maps of the Week
sur Google Maps Mania

James Cheshire and Ed Manley's maps of the Twitter Languages of London and the Twitter Languages of New York have rightly proved very popular visualisations of the multi-cultural nature of both cities.

Inspired by James and Ed's maps Simon Jackson has now created a similar map for Melbourne. Tweets of Melbourne uses ESRI maps and data from November 2012. Simon says he is updating the map with new data every weekend.

One of the most interesting aspects of the map for me is the number of Asian languages being used in the city. It is shame that Twitter is so young. It would have been interesting to view a similar map from the 1970's. In 1975 Australia dropped it's controversial 'White Australia Policy'. Does this map reflect a wider realignment of Australia's geopolitics away from Europe towards closer integration with its South East Asian neighbours?

Metropolitain is a data visualisation of traffic on the Paris Metro. Users can click on any of the city's Metro stations and view data on how many passengers passed through the station in 2011.

The Metro map includes a great 3d view that allows the user to turn a 2d heat map of traffic on the Metro system into a great contour map of Metro traffic.

The World Food Programme's Hunger Map shows the prevalence of undernourishment in countries around the world as of 2010 - 2012. The indicator is an estimate of the percentage of the population having access to an amount of energy from food insufficient to maintain a healthy life.

Users can click on individual countries on the map and learn more about the food security situation in that country and the WFP's work in the country using the tab controls in the map sidebar.

If you would like to see the pillar in the Alma Bridge underpass in Paris into which Princess Diana crashed, or have a look at the intersection in Los Angeles where the Notorious B.I.G. was gunned down, then Famous Death Locations is probably right up your street.

If you don't have a morbid fascination with where famous people have died you might instead enjoy Famous Death Locations' wonderfully 1990's style retro web design.

Create Your Own Treasure Hunt
sur Google Maps Mania

Judging by the number of comments and visitors to this blog on Monday it would seem that Google's Treasure Map, with its two treasure hunts, was hugely popular. It therefore seems like an appropriate time to introduce an application that can help you easily create your own Google Maps treasure hunt.

Mission MapQuest lets you add as many questions (clues) and answers (locations) as you like to a Google Map in order to create a virutal 'treasure hunt'. Players then have to solve your clues and zoom into the answer's location on the map. When the player answers correctly they will find a little golden coin at the location.

Mission MapQuest comes with one example of a game already created that you can play to get an idea of the format. I can't help thinking however that Mission MapQuest is missing a trick by not showing all the created games up front on its home page.

Treasure Map - Spolier
sur Google Maps Mania

This year Google's April Fool's Day layer on Google Maps is an attractive Treasure Map.

The map includes a number of picture clues that you can follow to reach the hidden treasure on the maps. Each of the picture clues includes a number which is actually a latitude and longitude that you can follow to the next clue.

It seems that there are at least 8 different treasure trails that you can follow on the map. Each of the final treasures are shown with a red symbol (so far Google Maps Mania readers have found a red compass, a red ring, a red sword, a red axe, a red rope, a red coin, red bones and a red gun) Most (if not all the symbols also seem to be in the shape of different letters. Looking at the letters revealed so far it looks to me like they will end up spelling 'April Fool'. Co-ordinates to the final treasure symbols are given at the end of this post.

The first picture clue that I have found is off the coast of Southend-on-Sea, in the UK. I've followed the clues until I arrived at what I think is where the treasure is buried. If you can't be bothered to type in all the clues yourself you can follow along on this Treasure - Spoiler Map. This map follows the path to the red sword.

I don't know if this is related to any of the treasure hunts on the map but I have also found a treasure chest in Puerto Rico (switch to treasure map view to see the chest). Also (and I'm sure this unrelated to any treasure hunt) I've found a little Gangnam Style in Seoul.

The new Treasure Maps layer should help all fortune seekers find any nearby hidden booty. To view the Treasure Maps layer just select the button on the top right of Google Maps. If you need additional help in finding any hidden treasure, whilst in Treasure Maps, open Street View which now has a very handy black and white telescope view.

There are actually a number of hidden clues on the map. Look for icons that have numbers beside them - the numbers are map co-ordinates that you can follow to new locations. Check out the comments below for help on where to find the treasure or check out this Treasure Maps - Spoilers post.

If you do manage to find the two passwords hidden on the map then you should be able to access two zipped files that Google have now posted online. Here's what Google says about the files:

"Have you found Captain Kidd's long-lost treasure yet? We found some locked treasures on the map, but Captain Kidd locked these with a secret code:"

ZeeMaps can be created from data from CSV or Excel files as well as Google Spreadsheets. Users can even set up their maps to be automatically updated as the Google Spreadsheets change.

ZeeMaps includes extensive admin controls that allow map administrators to moderate data entry. These include three levels of access control per map to allow the secure crowd-sourcing of data.

Maps created with ZeeMaps also have a comprehensive geo-search capability that can be combined with map data. ZeeMaps searches for information on the map, based on user-defined fields combined with location. For example, if a map contains customer data with fields such as customer-level (for Premium, Gold, Silver, etc.) then a user can perform a query for all customers in California that have a Gold level.

He wanted the evacuated residents of the town to be able to take a virtual tour of the town that they can no longer visit in person.

You can view haunting imagery directly on Google Maps or on the Memories for the Future website.

At Kamaishi Municipal Toni Elementary School it is hard not to imagine students once studying radiation half-life in the physics lab of this abandoned school.

Google Maps Engine Lite is free to use for non-business purposes. Using the tool it is very easy to create and share a map containing up to three different data sets. Users can add locations to the map by simply dropping markers on a map (or by tracing a route). Alternatively it is possible to import data from a CSV or XLSX file.

Another way to create a map with Google Maps Engine Lite is to simply import data from a My Map. For example I created a map of the locations in the Two Gallants in Google Maps Engine Lite in a matter of seconds using one of my My Maps.

To create the map all I had to do was choose the My Map from a list of maps I have created in Google Maps. Once the data has been imported it is then possible to share a link to the map or embed it in a website (as I have done above).

Google Earth Engine Lite is very easy to use. However if you run into problems trying to create a map you might find this Google Earth Outlook tutorial helpful.

In order to prove that the UK's technology industry extends beyond the hipster confines of London's East End, Tech Britain has been touring the country mapping the UK's start-ups, incubators and investors. The result is this Tech Britain map and a series of video interviews with some of the start-ups that Tech Britain met on journey around the country.

Tech City Map is a visually striking Google Map of the technology companies and startups in east London.

The map shows the locations of London's silicon roundabout area. The 'show networks' option on the map allows users to visualise the connections between the over 1,300 companies. If you click on an individual map marker there is also an option to view the latest Tweets from the selected tech company.

Findery is a new application that allows anyone to leave notes on a Google Map. The notes can be about anything, from information about a favorite location to a reminder to pick up milk from the local grocery. The posted notes can be shared with the world, with a group of friends, one to one, or only with yourself.

Pinning a note to the map is very easy. You can click on the the "Leave a Note" link at the top of the map or select the "Leave a Note Here" button. Notes can include text, photos, videos or even a sound clip. When you have submitted a note to the map your note gets a unique URL so it is easy to share your pinned notes with friends or through social media.

Google Maps Street View has proved very popular in a number of online promotional campaigns in the last few years. #FindtheEggs is a good example of how a promotional campaign can be made more interactive and fun with a little help from Street View.

GeoData-Checkout is an open data platform for creating interactive time-line maps. It allows developers to easily create online maps that can visualise data through time.

You can see the platform in action on the Historic Chicago Timeline Map. This map uses the platform to allow users to view an animated time-line of building construction in Chicago. Users can define an area on the map by using a polygon tool and then view an interactive map that animates the construction of individual buildings in the defined area by date of construction.

The MLB Payroll Map is a beautiful mapped visualisation of salaries and payrolls across Major League Baseball teams and players.

MLB teams are displayed on the map with dynamic map markers which are sized to reflect the size of the team's payroll. Users of the map can therefore see at a glance which teams have the largest payrolls. If you select an individual team on the map the marker fans out to show individual players. Again the size of the markers reflects the size of the players' salaries.

FreshyMap is a great online map that can help skiers find out the current snow conditions at nearby ski resorts.

Individual ski resorts are displayed on the map using dynamic map markers. The size of the markers (and the numbers) reflect the amount of fresh snow forecast for the resort. Users can click on individual markers to reveal a more detailed snow report and webcam images where available.

The Google Maps Easter Egg Hunt
sur Google Maps Mania

The UK's largest supermarket chain Tesco has used Google Maps Street View to create a virtual find the Easter egg competition. In #FindTheEggs players have to navigate around Street View and collect three of the thousands of eggs that have been hidden on the map.

If you find three eggs you can win a 'chocolate prize''. The eggs are very easy to find, especially if you like the game on Facebook, which rewards you with an egg radar showing you where to find the hidden eggs. There are also some golden eggs hidden on the map which could win you a Samsung Galaxy Tab2.

When you find three eggs you can print out a voucher to claim your free chocolate in a Tesco store or, if you shop online with Tesco, you can receive the chocolate with your next shopping order.

Geography Puzzles on Google Maps
sur Google Maps Mania

Vasile Cotovanu has been inspired by the new draggable polygons option in the Google Maps API to create the template for a Google Maps Geography Puzzle. The template allows anyone to create a game in which players have to drag geographical areas onto their correct position on a Google Map.

The code for the Vasile Geopuzzle is available on GitHub and can be easily customised for any area in the world. To create your own puzzle with the code all you really need is the GeoJSON data for the polygons you wish to use.

Vasile has created a demo game using the code for Switzerland's Cantons. In the demo game players have to drag polygons of the Swiss cantons onto their correct location. A timer keeps track of how long it takes to compete the game and your current score is also displayed on the map.

The game makes effective use of Vasile's popular Masked Polygons library. The Masked Polygon library is used to define the boundary of the game. For example, in the Switzerland Cantons game Switzerland is highlighted on the map using the masked polygon library. Consequently players can clearly see the area of game-play on the map.

The Roman Empire on Google Maps
sur Google Maps Mania

Vici.org is a Google Map that lets you find the location of buildings and artefacts from the Roman Empire.

Using the map it is possible to search for Roman remains near a particular location. It is possible to view the data on Google Maps or on top of the Pelagios Roman map tiles (more of which below). It is also possible to view a slide-show of some of the highlights on the map by using the Presentation option.

Vici.org is inspired by Wikipedia. Anyone can add content to the map and all content is available under the Creative Commons Attribution / Share Alike license.

Omnes Viae: Itinerarium Romanum is a route planner that lets you navigate the Roman Empire using the roads and shipping lanes available to the ancient Romans.

Omnes Viae is based on an ancient Roman map known as the 'Tabula Peutingeriana' and allows you to plan a route that contains all the main roads and cities of the Roman Empire. Routes generated by Omnes Viae list the towns and cites and also the river crossings on your trip in the map sidebar and displays the actual route on a Google Map.

The Pelagios Project has released Roman Empire map tiles that can be used with the Google Maps API. They have released a demo map, Digital Map of the Roman Empire, which shows how the map can be used with the Google Maps API.

The demo is just a basic map which replaces the Google Map tiles with the Roman Empire map tiles. If you want to search the map for ancient world place names then you should check out the Pleiades website. Pleiades is a great resource for anyone interested in the history and geography of the ancient world. The site is a community based and open-sourced gazette of ancient places.

If you search Pleiades for a Roman place name you can view the location on a map. On the displayed map you need to select the 'Imperium' map layer to view the Roman Empire map tiles.

Redrawing DC on Google Maps
sur Google Maps Mania

Here's an interesting Google Map that I came across today from Greater Greater Washington. Following the 2010 US census it was found that there were significant population differences in the city's electoral wards.

Greater Greater Washington therefore created The DC Redistricting Game. The game presents DC's wards on a Google Map. The map sidebar shows which wards are within 5% of the average population, and which wards are too small and too large. Using the map you have to switch the census tracts around between the different wards until all the wards are within the 5% average.

Once you have completed the game you even get a unique URL to your solution so that you can share your map with others.

Last year Google Street View went beneath the oceans so this year Google decided to take Street View to the top of the World.

Inspired by their love of mountaineering, a few Googlers decided to capture Street View imagery for Google Maps from some of the world’s tallest peaks. In their quest to bring the highest peaks to Street View they visited Everest Base Camp, Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Elbrus and Mount Aconcagua.

You can view the results of the imagery captured by these intrepid Street View explorers in a new section in Google's Street View Gallery - The World's Highest Peaks.

Apparently drowning is the third leading cause of accidental death worldwide. In order to help spread information about the dangers of drowning The Global Drowning Tracker has created a Google Map to record instances of drowning.

The map includes a number of filtering options which allow the user to browse the drownings reported by age, gender and location. Users can report drowning incidents to the map via a short form or by a SMS text message. The Global Drowning Tracker hopes that "through awareness, recognition and action, drowning accidents can be eliminated, if not greatly reduced".

Propublica has created an excellent Google Map to show the locations of homes and businesses that have received Small Business Administration disaster loans following superstorm Sandy.

There is a lot going on in this map. Not only does the the map show the locations of the loan recipients but also overlays flood elevation data on the map so that users can see where loan recipients are most at risk of future flooding.

The map sidebar provides links to zoom the map to specific businesses, counties and towns. When you select a county there is a very nice effect where the county is outlined on the map and displayed in a lighter color.

Birdplot is a really easy to use application that allows anyone to generate an animated heat map of a Twitter hashtag.

If you enter a hashtag term into Birdplot and select a date range you can automatically create an animated heat map that shows when and where people have tweeted about the topic. For example at the moment you could use Birdplot to show where and when people are tweeting '#pope'.

Creating a heat map with Birdplot literally takes a few seconds. All you need to do is enter a hashtag and a date range. The screenshot above is of a heat map I created showing tweets mentioning '#SXSW'.

Portmanteau.ro has created a nice mapped visualisation that allows users to visualise just how huge Bucharest's Centrul Civic really is by displaying its outline over any other location on Google Maps.

In order to convey the huge scale of the city's communist urban planning Portmanteau.ro allows users to see what the Centrul Civic would look like if it was built in their own towns. For example, in the screenshot above I've attempted to see what the visual effect would be if we replaced San Francisco's wasted empty spaces in the Golden Gate Park with a huge redevelopment of communist concrete buildings.

Happy Birthday John Snow
sur Google Maps Mania

Today marks the 200th year of the birth of British physician John Snow.

Snow is most famous for his dot map of cholera cases in London's Soho. In 1854 Snow plotted the deaths caused by cholera in the area and the location of eleven water pumps used by the locals. The distribution of the dots helped Snow discover that cholera occurred most frequently among those who drank from the Broad Street water pump.

Snow's map helped to disprove the then popular theory that diseases such as cholera and bubonic plague were air borne and spread by 'bad air'.

CartoDB has used Google Maps to create a modern take on Snow's 1854 dot map. CartoDB's map uses larger sized dots to indicate the number of deaths at each location rather than individuals dots for each death.

If you want to create your own map from John Snow's data then have a look at Robin's Blog. Robin Wilson has mapped John Snow's data onto an Ordnance Survey map and also made the data available via Google Fusion Tables.

GRID provides a concise Google Maps based guide to Glasgow and Edinburgh's rich cultural landscape.

The Glasgow Art Map and the Edinburgh Art Map both contain updated listings of art events in each city. Upcoming art events are displayed in the sidebar of each map and the locations of the events are displayed on the map. The sidebar contains dates and a brief description of each event and the map information window provides a link to the event or venue's website.

If you select an event from the map sidebar, as you would expect, the map scrolls to the relevant location and opens an information window. What I really like on this map is that it also works the other way around. If you select a venue on the map the sidebar scrolls to display the upcoming events at that venue.

NSFW Google Maps
sur Google Maps Mania

Last week Google Sightseeing found on Street View something strange going on in a back street of Manchester. Unfortunately the prudes at Google Maps quickly removed the offending images so all you see now in Street View is a black screen with the message "This image is no longer available".

Not to be outdone by Google some scally has responded by renaming the location of the Street View on Google Maps. I'm pretty sure that Google will quickly edit the street name back to the original name. However I suspect that Temperance Street in Manchester will now forever be known as Hand Job Alley.

On a semi-related note I was recently inspired by Gary Gale's Vaguely Rude Places map to create my own version using the Map Label Library. My NSFW Map has a lot fewer locations than Gary's map because I got bored and couldn't be bothered to map all the locations.

Walk Scores Travel Time API
sur Google Maps Mania

Walk Score's Travel Time API is a great resource to visualise travel times on a map.

Using the API it is possible to display walking distance, public transit times, driving distance, and biking times on a Google Map. There are obviously unlimited possible uses of the API, from showing walking times from individual stores on a store locator to showing travel times from properties on a real-estate map.

I've had a brief look at the API documentation and it looks very easy to implement the API into a Google Map. For example, the map above involves about six lines of simple JavaScript code to display a walking time of about 15 minutes around a given location.

There are currently two API plans available. The Developer Trial is free for 1,000 calls per day. A Premium Plan is also available for developers who expect high-volume usage and is costed on a case by case basis.
