The new "My Location" (beta) feature on
Google Maps for mobile helps you know where
you are on the map, even if your phone
doesn't have GPS. Just press [0] to move the
map to your approximate location. Save time
and tedious keystrokes finding where you are,
what's around you, and how to get there. Tags :GoogleMapsLocationBluedot

This video shows how we can now access Google
Maps in Second Life from RC 1.19.1. It uses
the SL web stream to show the map, and a web
proxy to create the relevant web/map page
dynamically in response to the user commands.
It also lets you switch the map and satellite
overlays on and off, and to overlay an RSS
feed or other geocoded source. The controller
also has the start of an SL browser built in,
on which we'll be doing more work later. Tags :secondlifedadengooglemapsearthmappingwebGISbirmingham
