Web site maps campus crime (The Daily Texan)

Posted: August 28th, 2008, 9:38am CEST

A crime database Web site is allowing students to see where crime is occurring around college campuses on a Google Maps background. Colin Drane, founder of UCrime.com, said the site offers a geospacial way of displaying campus crime information, which may be easier for students to use than a traditional police blotter.

Free Our Data - How to Do It Well

New Orleans Repopulation Map

This map from the Greater New Orleans Community Data Center shows residential addresses actively receiving mail by census block in New Orleans. The mailing list data represents the number of residential addresses per block where the mailman knows someone picks up the mail.

The U.S. Census Bureau's methods for estimating population can't keep up with the extraordinary situation post-Katrina so looking at residential addresses actively receiving mail is one way that population can be estimated. The map shows the population density in June 2008, the darker the shade the higher the density.

CapStat Mapping

The District of Columbia's CapStat Mapping application was designed to allow citizens in the district access to local government data with a geographical focus. It allows citizens to access data on crime, public space permits, building permits, locations of schools and service requests from a Google Map.

The map is a great example of how government can provide innovative portals to public data. It is possible to search the map by address or by a number of different pre-defined areas, such as police district, neighbourhood or ward. It is also possible to search the data by date. For example it is possible to search 16th Street Heights for crime on the 26th August.

Over the last two years Unlit has toured the USA and the UK. The tour consists of free gigs which are open to anyone and take place in volunteer’s homes. The support acts on the tour are bands and acts who have become involved via MySpace.

Central to the tour is a Google Map mash-up which serves as a tour hub for singer-songwriter Jont and his sidekick film-maker Dave. The map uses the flash version of the API and pulls together videos from YouTube, photos from Flickr, updates from Twitter as well as blog posts.

Using the Flash version of the map API means that Unlit are able to include an animated welcome to the map and to customise the map controls. The map also includes a useful help window with tips on how to use the map.

New York Google Maps Round-Up (8/2008)

Celebrity Owned Bars and Restaurants

Everybody knows that the best chefs are actors and musicians. Now if you are in New York and you fancy an overpriced burger you can quickly find a restaurant with Cityfile.com's Celebrity Bars and Restaurants map.

The restaurants are tagged on the map with photographs of the celebrities and I'm sure the restaurants themselves are liberally splattered with images of their owners. Not that I'm suggesting that Justin Timberlake doesn't cook the best southern fried chicken in New York.

Unfortunately the map doesn't seem to include Steve Guttenberg's Steak House:
See more Steve_Guttenberg videos at Funny or Die

Diaroogle

Any connection between this map and the previous map is purely coincidental. Diaroogle is a community submitted map of Manhattan toilets. The site says that is is for "the discerning, on-the-go defecator who is brave enough to use a public bathroom, but still demands a hygienic and private bathroom experience."

Each mapped toilet tends to come with a general report on its cleanliness and occupancy levels. You can search the map by address, cross street, zip, Manhattan neighbourhood, landmark or park and probably most usefully can access the map from a mobile phone.

Best Parking

Apparently New York celebrity restaurants don't come with celebrity valets so you may need the Best Parking map. The map helps drivers to find parking garages and lots, compare daily and monthly rates, and book "Reservations" and/or "Rate Guarantees" at participating facilities.

A search facility allows you to narrow your search to a particular New York City (Manhattan) neighbourhood or address and then view the best parking deals on both a map and a sortable list.

Best Parking is also available in Boston,DC and Philly.

PrimoSpot

Primo Spot is a map of free on-street parking spots in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The map markers are colour coded:
- The green marked spots have the longest time remaining on them
- Red spots are about to run out.
- The black markers indicate the spot has no parking any time, no standing, or is for commercial vehicles only.
Primo Spot is also available on mobile phones at [m.primospot.com] . Once connected, you can type in a zip code, address, or intersection and check for public parking on the go. There is also an iPhone-optimized version at [primospot.com] .

StoopSales

StoopSales is a Google Map mash-up of all the moving out, fund-raising and spring cleaning sales in Brooklyn. It is possible to search the sales by time of day, date, and neighbourhood. Registered users can post their own sales, with photos.

Hi all !

I am with problems in the accountant of markers.

Time zone

Posted: August 26th, 2008, 11:38pm CEST by bryskt

Is there a way to get the time (or at least the time zone) in a
location? If I search Google for "time in London" it gives me exactly
what I'm looking for. But isn't this information available through
the API somehow? If not, does anyone have any alternatives? I was
using the geonames.org web service, but it's currently down.

MapQuest Introduces New (Beta) Look, Features (Search Engine Land)

Posted: August 26th, 2008, 9:35pm CEST

AOL's MapQuest remains the top brand in online mapping and is still the most visited mapping site, despite recent gains by Google Maps. However, as the "incumbent" MapQuest has been somewhat resistant to experimentation and slower to adopt new features. But this morning the site is launching what promises to be the first of many changes in the coming months that will make it more dynamic, ...

eGeoXML with markers and polygons

Posted: August 26th, 2008, 9:11pm CEST by Matthew King

I'm not sure how to ask this question, but basically I'm really new at
this and I want to know if using eGeoXML is the best approach:

I'm trying to create a map displaying a polygon of conservation areas
along with a marker for the location of each conservation area.
However, I only want the marker/point description in the sidebar.

What Do You Think of PhotoSynth? (Seattlest)

Encoded polylines = faster polylines? (And smarter?)

Posted: August 26th, 2008, 8:11pm CEST by René

A couple questions:

1. To achieve faster rendering of polylines with many vertices
(hundreds), would encoding them help?

2. Is it possible to replicate native Google Maps' ability to have a
mouseover marker move along a polyline? I know about the mouseover
event not returning a point, and that click does... Just wondering how
