So hearing that Google Maps is now 15, you have one of two thoughts. “Boy that’s a long time” or “Boy, that’s a long time”. It really is a long time, this blog isn’t 15 years old yet (but we’re getting close). I thought it would be fun to look back at my first mention […]
All Points Blog brings up a topic that I’ve touched on a couple times over the past year. If we are to perform an sort of analysis using these free online tools, we’ll need to know more about the metadata and sources (and accuracy). As Adena points out, people are beginning to see the need […]
I visited this over a year ago and I still feel the same way. For someone to invest their time and effort using these online mapping APIs and not have access to the metadata really hurts. Take this example; in jest the Virtual Earth team posted on keeping an eye on their competitors such as […]
I’ve been talking quite a bit over the past few weeks about why I think Google Earth will become the default GIS viewer in the next year, but I thought I’d also post about what might keep it from coming that viewer. Support for projections – Sure one can always change the projection of files, […]
Link – Google Earth does not respect UN recognized borders!!!

Link – Its google – it must be right After comparing some common overlays from both Mapserver and Arcims (using the php code i posted earlier), it was obvious something was up, either my data being projected was wrong or googles base data was out Chris makes the same assertion that I did yesterday and […]
From the comments about Google Maps Hackers: It’s all moot. Hardly anyone, including the GIS professionals, attaches metadata anyways. Even when you do, nobody else knows what do with it. Actually ESRI does include metadata with their ArcWeb Services datasets. Take a look at the U.S Street Map Service metadata page. This information is available […]
[on my high horse] I wrote up a long rant about how ignorant these Google Maps hackers were to think that one should obfuscate history on old imagery, but I decided to delete that post because I don’t think they can handle it. [/on my high horse] Look, stick to making great hacks and leave […]
I first wrote about Fusion Tables back in 2010. Google Fusion Tables – Are you kidding me? These stuff is “teh awesome”. Fusion tables are going to be more “killer” than Google Maps was. Yup, pay attention. cageyjames “teh awesome”? Seriously, who says that? Well I guess I did and that’s OK. Was it more “killer” […]
