 Totally old news by now, but Google Maps are really cool. They work with Safari now, and I've been using them a lot (since I tend to print out a map nearly every time I go somewhere!). I can't believe how crappy MapQuest looks next to Google Maps quality (besides, the MapQuest logo is so dumb - it looks like Flintstones font or something). Now that Google has added the truly incredible satellite view, everyone is creating "memory maps". If you remember the address of your childhood home, just type it in and you're suddenly transported back in time! If you grab the map image and combine it with the cool notes feature of Flickr, you can annotate your old stomping ground. Take a look at my childhood neighborhood - if you haven't seen Flickr notes before, just hover over the boxes I've drawn on the map and my notes will pop up. Good ol' Ladera Way looks exactly like I remember it!Labels: life |
