Keyhole is very cool, but it uses satellite photos rather than maps, it doesn't run in the browser and it doesn't do the "Find a business" or "Get directions" stuff which is the real highlight of that maps.google.com stuff.
I just wonder why Google don't build this cool stuff using RIA technology like flash. I mean HTML & Javascript is so 1999. Think of all the cool stuff they could do like zooming and panning without the page reloading, overlaying extra information over the top of the maps..... oh wait scratch that... I'm just stoked that I can see the street I grew up in (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=8401%20Wagner%20Dr%2C%20Richmond%20BC&spn=0.007324%2C0.014594) and get directions from there to Beverly Hills (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=from%208401%20Wagner%20Dr%2C%20Richmond%2C%20BC%20to%2090210), and I can print is easily. But then again, I'm easily pleased. -- Mark Stanton Gruden Pty Ltd http://www.gruden.com --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/
