Saved locations on Google Maps8/04/2006 11:35:00 AMPosted by Thai Tran, Product ManagerOne of the most common requests we've received is for the ability to store a list of personal addresses on Google Maps -- and now you can. To get started, click on the "Saved Locations" link in the upper right corner of the site and sign in to your Google Account. If you're already signed in, this link will take you to your saved locations list -- Google Maps will automatically save every location you search for. You can also go to the Saved Locations list to disable auto-saving of locations or to add, modify, or delete previously-saved locations.

Wikimapia lets you explore Hong Kong - Wikimapia features hundreds of user described buildings, parks, skyscrapers, airports and numerous other places in and around Hong Kong. It's a great way to match Google Maps satellite imagery with community-driven descriptions. I regularly use Wikimapia to research my travel destinations and for Hong Kong specifically there are tons of locations to explore!

Create Running Routes With Google Maps
Gmap Pedometer is a site that uses Google Maps to let you record distances between two or more places. You can create routes for your running, see how many calories you're going to burn and save the route for further referencing. The author of the site explains: "As a runner training for a marathon for the first time, I found myself wishing I had an easy way to know the exact distance a certain course is, without having to drag a GPS or pedometer around on my runs." It's always a good idea to make some exercise at least once in a while, if not every day. And you can use the new iPod Nike shoes.

T-Mobile ROM für MDA
T-Mobile Releases Updated MDA ROM!
"TMOBILE has posted the long awaited ROM (ver 2.26) for the MDA USA. It contains a Radio Fix addressing the searching, signal acquirring issue as well as A2DP. Remember, you need a Fully Charged MDA before you get started, and make sure your PC will not go into Hibernate during the install. Also, on a personal experience note, I had a 3-5 minute pause when I got to 85%. Just as I began to worry, it picked back up. You never want to disturb the process or disconnect the cable. Complete instructions are included in the ROM Upgrade."

“Krugle delivers the precise help and knowledge that programmers need to solve their immediate problems.”
Meanwhile in other news (I always wanted to write that on a blog), Krugle is mentioned in a ZDnet column — New Google service for developers — that’s been picked up and re-run on quite a few other sites. The piece speculates about some opensource related offering that Google is evidently hinting around about. Your guess is as good as ours at this point. Maybe better. Apparently, more is to be revealed on Thursday at OSCON.

Google Maps. We're making these new features available to API v2 users
Zoooooooom!
Today we're enabling some new zoom features on Google Maps. We're making these features available to API v2 users as well, so please test them out and send us your feedback!
- Double-click to zoom. Instead of double-clicking to recenter the map, we now support left double-clicking to recenter and zoom in one level, and right double-clicking to zoom out one level. This can be enabled or disabled by calling enableDoubleClickZoom() or disableDoubleClickZoom() from a GMap2 instance. By default, double-click to zoom is disabled for API sites, since navigation in some API applications relies on the old behavior.
- Continuous zoom. For users of Firefox and Internet Explorer on Windows, we provide a smooth, continuous zoom animation when you zoom in one level. We turn off overlays during the zoom animation, so this may not be suitable for all API sites. To enable or disable continuous zoom, call enableContinuousZoom() or disableContinuousZoom() from a GMap2 instance. By default, continuous zoom is off.
For more details on zooming, please see the documentation. Don't forget to let us know what you think via the Maps API discussion forum.
Happy zooming!

Geokodierung
Geocoding at last!
On Sunday night we silently updated the Google Maps API to include geocoding, our #1 most requested feature by developers. It took just 4 hr 32 min 19 sec for curious developers (Mike Williams in this case) to discover it in our new JavaScript files.
The Maps API provides two ways to access the geocoder. You can talk to our geocode servers directly via HTTP request, or you can have the JavaScript do the dirty work for you from the browser. Some cool features of our geocoder are:
- We don't require you to break up the address into components such as street, city, country. Just send us the address as a single string and let us take care of the parsing.
- Don't worry about capitalization or punctuation or abbreviations. The geocoder is smart enough to figure out that "Pky" means "Parkway" and "Mtn View" means "Mountain View".
- The geocoder returns a nicely formatted version of the address you sent. So if your users are typing in things like "1600 aMPhiTheatrE pkWy 94043 USa", we'll send you back a cleaned-up version that you can store & display back to users: "1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA".
- The geocoder also returns the address broken up into components, like street, country, province, prefecture, postal code, etc. This allows you to do things like sort all your addresses by zip code. The geocoder response uses the eXtensible Address Language format, is an international address standard that works for 200+ countries.
- There's also a simpler version of the geocoder that returns a
GLatLng. If you don't need any fancy extra features like address components or cleaned-up strings, just use thegetLatLngmethod ofGClientGeocoderto get back a geocoded point. - The client-side JavaScript geocoder comes equipped with a built-in cache. This makes the user experience faster and means you'll use up less of your geocode request quota.
- Street-level geocoding is available for the US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Japan. More countries will be added as Google Maps launches in new countries.
For now, geocode requests are limited to 50,000 requests per day per API key. Since this is a new service, we've set a conservative limit and will reassess as usage picks up. For more information on the geocoder and example code, check out the documentation. As always, we welcome your feedback on the feature and the documentation.
API v1 Current: 1.31
API v1 Default: 1.31
API v2 Current: 2.55a
API v2 Default: 2.54
Update: Removed Japan from the list of countries for which we offer street-level geocoding, as it is not available there. たいへん申し訳ございません。 m(_ _)m
