Slashdot Mirror

For the paranoiacs, Paronamio has been acquired by Google this week (more info here).

"if companies like Flickr keep an e-mail address for those seeing their photos online"
You haven't mentioned it, but I guess you already know about FlickrMap. Flickr is part of Yahoo!, and they're not going out of the competition vs Google / Microsoft and alternatives on the mapping stuff and photos.

This might not be real-time, it remains still impressive: read this recent story on "How Online Maps Update Their Data After Major Road Closures", the summary:
"Several blogs discussed the re-routing of webmapping directions that happened after a freeway connector collapsed. It started with the Brain Off blog, Mapping Hacks and All Points Blog provide comments. The Map Room shares additional links (yes, I did copy TMR's entry title). From the article: "Some services reflected the altered landscape right away, some needed a few days, and some still don't show that anything has changed. Even some of the Web sites that show alternative routes around the melted MacArthur Maze don't give the same directions that Caltrans and the city of Oakland have asked people to take. [...] Satellite services like GPS provider Magellan don't update their maps, but customers who pay extra for traffic updates would see that the road is closed. Drivers can also tell their devices that they need an alternative route.""

A previous poster already mentioned that Google's Picasa is a free and easy tool to add geolocation to the EXIF metadata of photos and then publish them on Google Earth or Google Maps. Of course, there are plenty of other tools to do just that. Examples include this one for the mac, or this other one specifically for iPhoto. You'll get much more photo geocoding tools examples here.

Oh, and by the way, instead of using the Google Maps API to show them on your website, I invite you to try OpenLayers, which does the same thing, except that it's open, supported by the OSGeo and allows you to toggle from Google data to Microsoft or Yahoo or any WMS server easily.

I'm a NWW enthusiast, even if I never really used it on a regular basis... (I'm waiting for the Java version... I hope I won't be deceived).

NASA World Wind sadly never had the media coverage GE had. This is kind of sad. People seems to forget, or ignore, that you can't use Google Earth in a work environment. Well, more precisely, you can't legally install the free version Google Earth in any work environment, not even the Plus version (20$US), you need the Pro (400$US) or the Enterprise version. Why am I underlining this? Because I believe this should have helped NASA World Wind to capture mind share. Should, because not a lot of people care about that fact and Google will not enforce this, since they benefit from the number of people using it, a little like Microsoft did not care about Windows being copied some centuries ago. Oh, this change in the license came with version 4 of the GE beta, launched last summer.

Here's the interesting Google Earth vs NASA World Wind comparison, on the WW Central website.

You get Montréal and Toronto already geocoded photographies. And it's clear from their press release, they're going after the U.S.: "Over 4 million photographs were taken of the Toronto area, as well as 3 million more for Montreal, providing visitors a unique perspective on two of Canada's most popular urban areas. VirtualCity plans to expand into the United States before the end of the year, beginning with Miami and continuing into the New York, Chicago, and Boston markets in 2007."

The Slashgeo.org story:
All Points Blog tells us Google unexpectedly acquires data over Sydney, for Australia Day 2007. From this other article: "On Friday, an aircraft hired by Google will be doing a series of low-level swoops over parts of Sydney, photographing the ground and waters below. [...] "It's a bit of an experiment and if it's a success, we'll probably do it in other places [around the world]," Mr Rasmussen said, indicating that Google would work on organising similar flyovers in places like Paris on Bastille Day or over cities in the United States on Independence Day." Update: 01/26 16:40 GMT by S:The Google Earth blog tells us Microsoft too will acquire data over Sydney.

More on wifi geolocation here. Yes, it's a shameless plug, but I believe it's relevant. Slashgeo focuses on geospatial technologies, with a tendency to cover items related to open source and community-related geospatial projects. Here's the 'Open source community' topic. And more related to this story, here's the GPS and RFID topics too. And why not the Google one. There's already plenty of GPS/Wifi/Google existing geospatial tools/apps that will rock the world. It's only a matter of time :-)

I don't know the answer, but I can direct you to OpenLayers.org and to the Open Source Geospatial foundation to look for answers. I'm interested to the answer because we want to geolocate visitors for slashcode itself, and I copied your question on Slashgeo.org, which may help attract more answers to this /. story.

While your at it, GeoRSS is also open and, in my opinion, the future of RSS. Learn more about it here.

There's often a confusion between passive and active tags, which have different types of uses and different capabilities, read about it on wikipedia. Additionally, Slashgeo (yup, plug) has a section on RFID tags.

From TA: "RFID has also made an appearance in the army to try and reduce casualties from 'friendly fire' incidents." ... let's not forget the actual range limitation of most RFID tags.

Yes, RFID is one of the geospatial technology which will have a significant impact on our lives. The "100% organic matter RFID chip developed in Korea, costing only 0.5 cents" kind of headlines will only be seen more often in the near future.

A shameless copy of a previous slashgeo.org story:
Time for Time in GIS
Christian Spanring links to a FOSS4G2006 open document presentation named It's About Time for Time. From the abstract: ""The weakness of current cartography is its poor representation of time. The surface of the earth is treated as a static thing." (Anselm Hook) [...] There are numerous experiments, but little solid support in tools or data structures for representing the 4th dimension (when we're still getting used to the 3rd dimension in GIS)." The time capabilities of GeoRSS and Google Earth are mentioned. Previous poll on time.

And why not another pertinent one?
Time Tracking Now Included in Google Earth 'Free'
All Points Blog links to a ZDNet article where we learn the time tracking tool in Google Earth Pro will now be available in Google Earth Free (and GE Plus, of course!). From the article: "The feature in which a slider is used to scroll through time [...] now features a simplified interface. [...] showing how scientists, who had tracked the movements of a whale shark using GPS, had then mapped the creature's path using the application. Business uses could include fleet tracking or mapping the movements of transport infrastructure according to Google. Jones also described how the new version would enable users to track all of the geostationary satellites orbiting the earth." Ed Parsons was first to mention this news item.

Other RFID stories right here. And let's not forget RFID Passports in the USA a Reality Now:
"Following this previous story, we learn from the Washington Post RFID chips in US passports are now confirmed. From the article: "Passports will come with a shielded cover, making it much harder to read the chip when the passport is closed. And there are now access-control and encryption mechanisms, making it much harder for an unauthorized reader to collect, understand and alter the data. [...] The Colorado passport office is already issuing RFID passports, and the State Department expects all U.S. passport offices to be doing so by the end of the year.""

The future of RSS is in GeoRSS and the Sensor Web. For an unknown reason to me, /. never had a story specifically on GeoRSS. Here's some stories taken from my sig's website...

First, the after years of work, the GeoRSS version 1.0 was released recently. Then you can read this excellent article on GeoRSS. Everybody is jumping on the GeoRSS bandwagon, even Microsoft and the huge blogging world.

Of course GPS does not work inside buildings. The website says other hardware used 'bad' ways to retrieve inside-building location information, but they give no clue on how they do it themselves! How can I judge if their system is better?!

Additionnaly, most of the work is done by RoboGeo, which must be purchased seperately.

And yes, it does also work with SketchUp buildings. Meaning you can scroll through time and watch buildings evoluate. Some published KML demonstrate this.

that were rejected by the /. editors :-)

There's Microsoft's Live Local and Yahoo! Maps that are also data-filled. But you're right, data is the next intel inside. You can look at OpenStreetMap, the best open data project amongst the community.

Those interesting in the topics should take a look at the Google Maps Hack book (review here).

Anyone whom have interest in Google Maps API must take a look at the numerous alternatives. Which includes OpenLayers.org (which just released v2.0). There are various other alternatives, all with different levels of interoperability and compatibility with OGC standards. On the subject, see slashgeo's web mapping section.
