Google Maps
I’ve been playing around with Google Maps and Google Latitude today. Maps are of course the map, satellite imagery and notorious street view. Latitude is the GPS tracking facility. I’m now tracking Nick’s mobile phone so I’ll know where he is each day when he is on holiday. If he stays stationary in Bangkok for too long I’ll start to worry that the red shirts have him. Anyway, while reading around the Google Maps site I discovered the feature that enables you to create your own route map, so I did. The map below shows my walk from Ipswich Station to the university. The only problem is that the Google satellite must have passed before the uni was built so it looks like I work in a heap of rubble!
