Hello all,
I recently discovered the new google maps service ( http://maps.google.com )... And I have to say it, it's really really really amazing ...
I played alot with it and I spotted some good places in Belgium :)
The full zoom is not enabled for all the links, maybe they will be in some days, just the time to update the pictures...
Here they are:
My house: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=50.419377,3.862877&spn=0.036040,0.061725&t=k&hl=en
Spa/Francorchamps track: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=50.436945,5.971584&spn=0.070939,0.088062&t=k&hl=en
Zolder track: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=50.989094,5.256271&spn=0.070939,0.088062&t=k&hl=en
You can also use that free service who use the google maps: http://mygmaps.com/
With that service you can save your favorite places and share them :) like that: http://mygmaps.com/show/0.0.8/?url=http://mygmaps.com/account/pol/coolplaces.xml
Another great discover is geoURL !
GeoURL is a web service that allow you to find people who have a website and live near you :)
You just need to add 2 meta informations in your webpage and submit it to http://www.geourl.org/
My website is: http://moi.homeip.net/~pol/cms/index.php
if you look at the source, you'll see:
<meta name="ICBM" content="50.4193772831453,3.86287666435053" />
<meta name="DC.title" content="Site personnel de Pol" />
That is what you need to add your site to GeoURL.
50.4193772831453 and 3.86287666435053 are your coordinates, you can find yours by going here: http://geourl.org/resources.html . I recommand to use http://www.multimap.com/ it works very well.
Once you have find your coordinates, you can see them in google maps by replacing your coordinates in the url:
http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=50.419377,3.862877
Replace 50.419377 and 3.862877 with what you found on http://www.multimap.com/ and it's ok :)
So... with geoURL I can find people who have a website and live near me: http://geourl.org/near/?p=http://moi.homeip.net/~pol/cms/
Now it's your turn to show us some good places that worth to be shared (tracks, monuments,your location,...)
Use http://www.multimap.com/ and http://maps.google.com/ to show us :)
If you need help, pm me !
