New The Google Maps Of The Week


Sometimes the best maps don't bring to hold upwardly peculiarly innovative to hold upwardly powerful as well as effective. This map mark the victims of the Nazi Holocaust is sure enough powerfully evocative.

Since 1997 High German creative someone Gunter Demnig has been creating memorials for private victims of the Holocaust. Demnig's stolpersteine (stumbling blocks) are small, cobblestone-sized memorials for private victims of Nazism. Each stolperstein is placed inwards the sidewalk exterior a victim's home.

Stolpersteine Online is a Google Map of the memorials that bring been erected. The projection has created nigh 35,000 stumbling blocks as well as thus far. This is a real pocket-size percent of the total seat out of victims of the Holocaust, nevertheless if y'all zoom inwards on whatever High German urban amount on this map y'all soundless can't neglect to hold upwardly overwhelmed past times the sheer scale of the Nazis Holocaust.


Another powerful purpose of the Google Maps API this calendar week was produced past times The New York Times. The Times created ii custom Street View images of the destruction caused past times the tornado inwards Moore, Oklahoma - Before as well as After: 360° Views From Moore.

The custom Street Views were captured on Tuesday as well as bring been synced amongst the Google Maps Street Views that were captured inwards Dec 2007. If y'all pan either Street View both the earlier as well as afterward icon moves as well as thus y'all tin compare the images roughly the whole 360 degrees.


This calendar week I was besides impressed past times Vasile Cotovanu's polygon masking upshot wizard. An app that tin rapidly practise the GeoJSON, KML, or Google Maps API polygon code needed to practise your ain polygon mask.


Geomask allows y'all to only depict roughly an surface area on Google Maps as well as precisely press a push to generate the polygon to practise this cracking masking effect. You aren't restricted to i polygon mask as well as y'all tin highlight equally many areas equally y'all desire on the map.
