Using Symbols to Show Public Transit Routes
To contact us Click HERE
The Swiss Railways Network Simulator has been updated to make use of the new Symbols feature in the Google Maps API.
Symbols can be animated along a polyline, which makes them very effective for displaying transit routes on a map. The Swiss Railways Simulator shows the real-time location of all trains on the Swiss network. Now if you click on a train you can choose to then view it's route animated on the map.
After clicking on a train's icon just select 'Draw route' and the train's route will then be animated on the map with a black symbol travelling along a white polyline.
The Lausanne Public Transport Map and the Romanian Railways Map have also been updated with animated symbols to show the routes of buses and trains.

There are a number of Google Maps based websites that allow you to compare the size of different countries by overlaying one on top of the other.
OverlayMaps lets the user compare the sizes of different countries, states /provinces, lakes /rivers and other landmarks around the world.The comparison tool is very simple to use. You just need to select one country (or other feature) from a drop-down menu and then select the location you wish to compare it to from another menu.
A polygon of your first selection is then overlaid on your second location on a Google Map (see the screenshot above).
MAPfrappe is a similar tool but has the advantage that you can actually define your own area to compare.
MAPfrappe uses two Google Maps. You draw the outline of your selected location on one Google Map. Your outline will then appear on the other map, which you can pan around and zoom into to compare your selected area to other locations around the world.
BBC Dimensions takes another approach to comparing the sizes of different locations on Google Maps. BBC Dimensions doesn't allow you to define your own areas but has a huge range of pre-set locations, events and geographical features that you can overlay on any location.
The pre-set areas are organised into a number of different categories, such as festivals, cities in history and environmental disasters.
If It Were My Home? also has a great country comparison tool that allows you to compare the size of different countries by placing an overlay in the shape of one country over another. Users can compare the size of any country with any other country and can even view a number of economic and lifestyle comparisons of the two compared countries.

Strange Souvenirs: Jubilee Ma'amite
To contact us Click HERE
Mugs with the Queen’s (err hem) mug are typical souvenirs tobring back from the British Isles especially those marking milestones.
But Marmite has taken commemorating her Majesty a step further with a specialedition Jubilee Ma'amite. After addressing the Queen as "YourMajesty" first, correct protocol is to call her "Ma'am" after.
Marmite, which can be found in most kitchen cupboards in theUK, is a savory spread made from yeast extract. It can be an acquired taste, muchin the same way people love or hate olives - there is no in between. Those who managed to get their hands on a jar of Jubilee Ma’amitecan spread some on their toast and literally toast the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.Sixty years of reign is a long time. I’d love to have a pint with the person who coined Ma'amite.

The Australian Census on Google Maps
To contact us Click HERE
The SBS - Census Explorer is a data exploration tool visualising the key demographic indicators from Australia's 2011 Census.

Using a drop-down menu it is possible to select an individual language. A heat map of where that language is spoken is then displayed on the map. It is possible to click on individual census tracts to get the exact number of the language's speakers at that location.

Your Mapper Adds Heat Maps
To contact us Click HERE
Your Mapper has added some exciting new features to it's mapped data visualisation application.
Your Mapper provides an easy to use application that allows users to create and visualise data on a Google Map and embed the created map in a website or blog. Your Mapper has used the new HeatMaps layer in the Google Maps API to add a new option to view data as a heat map on a Google Map (for example the screenshot above shows a heat map of greenhouse gas emissions in the USA).
One really cool feature of Your Mapper is that you can visualise data added by other users. So using the links in the map sidebar you can view heat maps for lots of different data sets, from the density of nursing homes to the locations of catholic churches in the USA.
Your Mapper has also added a number of other interesting features such as the option to view a transit layer, a global cloud coverage layer and has also implemented a new muted map style which helps to emphasise the data added to the map.

After you have entered an airport and a budget all the available flights in your budget are displayed on the map. If you select a destination shown on the map you can then view the flight details and click on a link to book your seat.
At the moment Flocation only works for a number of South East Asian and Australian airports but new airports and destinations are being added to the application all the time.

The 1812 War on Google Maps
To contact us Click HERE
In 1812 the United States of America declared war on the United Kingdom thereby beginning the War of 1812.
Brock University has put together an interactive display of geo-referenced historical maps examining some of the invasions of Upper and Lower Canada. The War of 1812 in Maps allows the user to view historical maps of locations of significant battlefield sites and compare them to the current landscape.
The application overlays the historical battlefield maps on top of Google Earth (using the Google Earth plug-in). The user can navigate to the maps by using the links in the map sidebar. It is also possible to adjust the transparency of each map by using a map transparency slide control.

Transit Tweets on Google Maps
To contact us Click HERE
Transid's RER Tweet Map is a heat map of over 4,000 Tweets in Paris that mention the RER (Paris' rapid transit system).
The map uses the new HeatMap layer in the Google Maps API. This visualisation of the Tweets quickly reveals that (maybe unsurprisingly) that many people mention RER when they are at a station or when on a train.
The map includes a number of options that allow you to adjust the display of the HeatMap layer on the map. The Google Maps API gives developer options to adjust the radius of data points, the opacity of the layer and the colors used. Transid's RER Tweet Map has created buttons to allow the users to change these elements themselves to adjust how the heat map displays on the map.

When aspiring photographers ask me how to pursue travelphotography I always tell them to start in their own back yard. No matter whereyou live there is always travel related subject matter. It could be a scenicview, quirky attraction or festival. This summer I am taking my own advice.
Pictured here are a group of folks who every year take partin the Gay Pride March held every June. This year they dressed in dragon-themedcostumes for the Chinese Year of the Dragon. This photograph was taken afterhours of preparation in a nearby apartment in Chelsea (which I alsophotographed) on the way to the march. What do you like to photograph in your own back yard?

Crowdsourcing Neighborhood Boundaries
To contact us Click HERE
Bostonography is running a project to find out where Bostonians believe their neighborhood boundaries lie.
The project is using a Google Maps tool which allows participants to draw on a Google Map where they think Boston neighborhood boundaries run. This has allowed Bostonography to create a map of all the amalgamated responses so far.
The results for each neighborhood are also being analysed to see which neighborhood boundaries participants have a strong agreement about and to highlight areas where there are contradictory opinions about which neighborhood they belong to.
