More Maps.
Aug. 15th, 2008 04:55 pmMan, what is it with the Google Maps generic map/directions service slams these days?
Google Maps
Aug. 12th, 2008 11:13 amThis xkcd isn't too far from my experience with Google Maps during my recent road trip. It saw into the future (I-840 in NC didn't yet exist, and "Future I-840" ended at Exit 19 where Google Maps told me to get off at Exit 21), and it didn't see into construction (I-95 didn't have an exit 351C in Florida). I guess this is why they recommend a sanity check at the bottom in fine print on all their directions.
Google Maps Mashup?
Oct. 24th, 2007 03:37 pmI've seen a widget-type thing, Google Maps mashup, where visitors to a website enter their zip code or address or something else, and then the mapsite generates a Google Map with flags for everyone's location. Some people put this as a plug-in sorta thing on their blog page, or webcomics do it too. But I can't find it! It's a famous one and I can't remember the name, and Google search isn't helping me.
Anyone know the sorta thing I'm thinking of? If so, give me the name and link me up!

50 years of highways
Jul. 3rd, 2006 11:57 pmOoh, this looks like an interesting article - it's apparently a biography of the nation's interstate system, and for me it's pure mapporn! *grin* However, the following severely mangled nest of mixed metaphors made me cringe.
*shudder*
So it's hard to believe that America's freeway system turns 50 this summer — a chronological blip on the tectonic plates too slight for a spectrometer, but in the life of our republic, a golden anniversary.
*shudder*
