Tour de France gets Google Street View
The Tour de France is on and so is street view for the course. This year you can see the course using Google's Street View technology. This LINK connects you to the traditional Google Maps site showing where street view is available over the course. The tour website is HERE. And a course map PDF is found HERE. I'm not sure if the street view [...]
Google and ESRI Announcement at Where 2.0 Conference
Picked up portions of this from All Points Blog today. Where 2.0 is a conference dedicated to "neographers", that new breed of mappers that are using free and open source map technology to develop some fairly advanced and easy to use maps (for the most part). No longer a fringe group, neogeographers are becoming part of the mainstream of [...]
Google Getting Sued over “Street View”
Invasion of Privacy! claims a Pennsylvania couple after filing a 10 page lawsuit with the Search Engine Giant. The couple claims their privacy was invaded when the Google "Streetview" vehicle took a picture, up their long driveway, while there was a posted "Private Road" sign at the end of the driveway. Google's defense, they have a method for the [...]
Nashville gets Google Street View
Nashville just got hooked up with Street View imagery on Google Maps. Zoom in to Nashville, click on the Street View link. Imagery is available for any street with blue highlights. Move the little stick figure guy around and then click to view street level imagery of the area. The image window has 360 degree pan features. By clicking along [...]
A Geeky Kinda Love
Found this Valentine's Day Mashup from Google maps API Blog. With it you can create a 10,000 ft view engraving of your own personal sweet nothing to your favorite someone. It looks cool and tacky enough that I'm sure those not inclined to flowers and chocolates will find it a great alternative. Here are a couple of other sites to get your [...]
Some Jared Map stats

Using Google Maps to Track TN Tornado Damage
I found this link for a Google Map by the user-name of "Jared" (no Google profile yet created). It seems as though Jared is keeping track of last Tuesday night's tornado destruction, American Red Cross shelters, deaths, News Stories, etc. on his Google "My Maps". I am unsure at this point if "Jared" is keeping this map up-to-date as more and [...]
Google Maps Street View “Has it gone to far?”
This is good... Too funny not to spread the love... Thanks to "The Vacationers" and "The James Fee Blog"
Interactive GIS Mapping Sites in TN
Here is a list of Interactive GIS Mapping Sites that I helped get started for the TNGIC Users website about a year ago. I thought this would be a great addition to the TN GIS community as an ongoing directory of available sites to the public. This list has grown since the initial list was published so I thought I would post it here as an update. [...]
Talk about “Building Integrity into the Data.”
The push I am seeing from Google, in regards to allowing their map users to build, manage, and share GIS data, is very exciting to me. The concept must go something like this, "What is the best way to achieve an up-to-date national address database?... have the person living at the address or on the same street make the edit for you." Not [...]
