Nifty Google Maps

[joelbolt]

Google is making MapQuest look like a old map I have in my glove compartment. Have you seen the new Satellite feature (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=San+Diego&ll=32.783117,-117.119322&spn=0.011888,0.018153&t=k&hl=en)?

The coolest thing I've seen (http://www.paulrademacher.com/housing/) done with Google Maps is gluing it to Craigslist.

Now that’s pretty cool stuff.

Satellite view of Chargers Park (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Chargers+Park&ll=32.819080,-117.118185&spn=0.006877,0.009441&t=k&hl=en)

If someone has the time post a satellite view of each stadium the team will travel to this season. That would be cool!

The images from the satellite are at least a year old. We paved our parking lot at work a year ago, and the photo I looked up still has the old lot in the picture. Still pretty cool tho to be able to look anywhere you want to from that view.

Go Chargers!

That's great! You can even see Mount Gilbride!

I searched "Petco Park San Diego Califronia" and it has a picture of it during construction. There is no grass, parking lot, nothing. Just the frame of the stadium. Check it out for yourself. I couldn't figure out how to get the link to my search, so try it.

Spysnipedis - you almost got it right.

The Oakland Raiders actually play here:

LOL ... I love it!

I didn't know. Damn it.

I'm going to slap myself for being dumb.

Hi Joel,

Google continues to come out with pretty cool stuff - here are a couple more I had missed. Have you looked that the combination of their free "Hello (http://www.hello.com)" program for peer-to-peer image sharing and "Picasa2" for image managment/slide shows/etc? (Picasa2 is tightly integrated with "Hello").

My son talked me into installing both on his Mom's computer last weekend and I have to admit I was *very* impressed!

Thanks!!!

Ok, I just killed about 30 minutes of work looking at various locations using this.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

What took ya so long? :D

As a test of its "Export to web page" I exported the pictures in a folder from my Son about the "Aftermath of Hurricane Charlie, Punta Gorda, FL" in Sept. of last year and uploaded it to my domain in about 5 minutes. ;) Cool stuff. Now I need to get a good digital camera along the lines of the one Riverhead was using and get my hind end down to training camp! ;)

Edited: I removed the link formerly to the slide show mentioned above and cleared the test off of my domain so I could use the space for another purpose - geekster

p.s. I *like* FREE! :D
