I was impressed this calendar week past times this campus map of Arkansas State University.

The Google Maps API has been used past times the academy to exercise a map that has all the navigational controls that users beloved inwards Google Maps simply doesn't genuinely await similar a Google Map. Custom map tiles direct keep been used to laissez passer on an isometric persuasion of the campus as well as custom Street Views direct keep been created to enable visitors to accept a virtual tour of the campus buildings.

In truth the ZSL Cat Map doesn't correspond a huge jump forrad inwards the pattern as well as application of online mapping. However, whilst it isn't going to win whatsoever pattern awards, the Cat Map has proved a hugely effective marketing tool for London Zoo.

The map allows anyone to part their kitty pics alongside the public as well as was created to help promote the novel enclosure for Sumatran tigers at the zoo. Who knew that pictures of cats could live as well as hence pop on the internet?

CTV News has created an interactive Google public simulation of how ii Canadian CF-18 Hornet fighter jets intercepted a Sunwing Airlines flying inwards Canadian airspace.

Due to airplane pilot fault the Sunwing bird failed to proceed contact alongside air traffic command for to a greater extent than than an hour. In reply the ii fighter jets were scrambled to intercept the plane, where they lastly regained contact alongside the pilot.

The CTV News interactive uses the Google public browser plug-in to exercise a simulation of the interception. The simulation uses 3d models of the Sunwing aircraft as well as the ii jets as well as includes well from radio transmissions betwixt the fighter jets as well as the Sunwing bird as well as air traffic control.
