Google Mashups

Some interesting Google mashups:

Detail plannings on the GM;
Panoramio- Million geolocated photos at Panoramio (article);

I like this GUI

First example we're all acquaintent with (Atlas from Fresh Logic Studios), updated lately:Also something new - Reuters interactive map of emergencies Alertnet (beta), some interesting features, architecture etc (made using flash).

Something to keep in mind regarding our FT nad TG development :-)

Flash Inspiration

Collection of flash-maps that inspired us while starting flash-development.

Flashearth and mr Neave development works at neave.com, idea for FlashTile:

US Flashmaps using maps with high vector graphics

Carto Net collection of flash-maps, flash vs SVG
Geoclip thematic maps QVIS R&D, also UI-s at large
Zillertal Ski panoramas, idea for our so-called "rastersolution"
Zillertal Ski animations

Flex on Google Maps

Google Maps Collaboration using Flex, Flash Media Server and Ajax (Updated for Flex 2 GA)

Interesting tool wherein some nice features have been implemented from our roadap:

- Map sharing: Maps are kept in sync (in real time) between users involved in a collaboration session.
- Videoconferencing (Webcam sharing and VOIP): You can share your Webcam and microphone to add video and audio to your collaboration session.
- Whiteboarding: Collaborating users can draw on the map. For example you could draw potential directions, etc. The users’ whiteboards are kept in sync in real time.
- Cursor sharing: When you move your mouse, other users see the movements of your mouse and what you are pointing at.

Look at the demo here (username 'quest' worked well)

Adobe Apollo - new approach to internet maps?

Apollo offers tools for offline applications created using HTML, AJAX ja Flash:

Apollo is a cross-operating system runtime that allows you to install desktop applications that are built using web technologies like HTML, JavaScript, and Flash. The technology allows rich Internet applications to run offline, and could threaten the popularity of programming platforms such as Java and Microsoft .NET, Adobe has said.
