The Royal Wedding on Google Maps
The Guardian's Royal Wedding Map
Left leaning UK newspaper The Guardian has gone all gooey eyed and created a Google Map for the Royal Wedding.
The map features the latest news, photographs, videos and auido interviews from journalist Adam Gabbatt as he braves the flag waving crowds along the royal wedding route.
The map has been created using new map creation tool Kerouapp. Kerouapp is currently in closed alpha testing but from this embedded map on the Guardian we can see that it will provide a cool way to create a Google Map of a trip, with an animated time-line of your photos and videos.
Google Earth Tour
If you really don't have anything better to do today you can check out the royal wedding route in 3D with the Google Earth browser plug-in. Google have created a tour of the royal wedding route from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey.
Following the tour in 3D is almost asbad good as being there yourself. Google also have a Mr & Mrs Pegman decked out in wedding gear if you check out central London in Street View on Google Maps.
Royal Wedding Tweets Map
Mibazaar has created this Google Map to show all the latest royal wedding chatter on Twitter. The map also displays the royal wedding route from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey.
The map displays the latest tweets with the #royalwedding hashtag that have been posted from in and around London. The map animates to show the latest Tweets, so it is possible to just sit back and read how people are reacting to this wedding.

Road Races in Street View
Swiss Post - Running View
UbiLabs has developed a very nice Google Maps based application for Swiss Post that allows you to view upcoming road races with Street View. Currently you can preview the Grand-Prix von Bern, the Lausanne Marathon and the Schweizer Frauenlauf Bern with Running View.
For each race it is possible to preview the route in Google Street View. All you need to do is press 'play' and you can view an animation of the route using Google Street View images. You can pause and adjust the speed of the Street View animation of the route at any time.
A Google Map with a rotating marker gives you an overview of the current position and an elevation chart shows the elevation at each point of the track.

A Facebook Check-in Button Generator
CheckinPlugin
CheckinPlugin helps businesses and venues create a Facebook check-in button for their websites. The obvious advantages for businesses of having a check-in button is that it will encourage customers to check-in using Facebook and help promote their venue or company.
Creating a CheckinPlugin is very easy. First you just need to enter your location on a Google Map. CheckinPlugin then displays all the venues with a Facebook place id at that address. You then select your business from the list and create your unique CheckinPlugin.
CheckinPlugin then generates the code for your plug-in and all you need to do then is insert it into your company's website.

Design Events on Google Maps
A.N.D.
The A.N.D. project has created a Google Map to show the location of upcoming events in London, New York, Moscow and Tokyo in the fields of contemporary design, photography and architecture.
As you might imagine the A.N.D. project has put some thought into the design of their map. The map markers represent iconic buildings in each of the four cities. For example, New York's map marker is the Empire State building and London's is Big Ben.
If you click on one of the four building markers the map zooms to your chosen city and displays the upcoming events. Each of the event markers includes a label with the name of the event.

Beta 1.6 Terra e Mapas
Não temos muitas informações sobre a actualização 1.6, porem oque sabemos é que conterá o minemapa e algumas correçoes no jogo
Minecraft 1.6 : Carte / Mini-map
C'est officiel, la grande nouveauté (la seule ?) de Minecraft Beta 1.6 sera l'ajout d'une Carte / Minimap craftable. La carte vous dévoilera les zones explorées à partir de l'endroit où vous l'avez crafté. Une fois toute la carte remplie, il vous faudra en créer une autre pour avoir un aperçu des nouvelles zones découvertes.
Pour ce qui est de l'utilisation, il suffira de regarder vers le bas pour avoir un aperçu de la carte.
Notch travaille actuellement sur l'implémentation de cette Carte / Mini-map au mode multi-joueurs.

Zombies Attack the Royal Wedding
The Royal Zombie Wedding
There is a Royal Wedding taking place this Friday in London.
As you can imagine the burning question on everyone's lips is:
Can the wedding survive a zombie attack?
Thanks to the makers of Class 3 Outbreak, the Google Maps zombie game, we can now simulate the effects of a zombie attack on Westminster Abbey during the royal wedding and discover the answer to this important question.
After extensive testing of the simulator I can attest that things don't bode well for William and Kate. By my reckoning the happy couple will enjoy about five minutes of married life before joining the leagues of the walking dead.
On a more happy note a zombie attack won't make much difference to the royal family. It has been rumoured that the Queen's husband Prince Philip has been zombified for the last twenty years with very little noticeable effect on his ability to perform his royal duties.
As a reward for their work on the The Royal Zombie Wedding game creators Binary Space have been awarded a permanent room in the Tower of London by the UK government.

More Sweden on Google Maps
Mere Sverige
Mere Sverige (More Sweden) is a tourism promotion site for Sweden aimed at the Danish market. The site is therefore in Danish. More Sweden uses Google Maps to provide Danish visitors to Sweden with all the accommodation and sightseeing information that they will need.
The map includes some very nice features. In particular the numbered marker clustering solution is well thought out. Numbered markers show the number of points of information at a location. If you mouse-over the marker a small information window opens with preview thumbnails of the individual locations. If you click on the marker the map zooms in so that you can view the individual markers.
Markers on the map are divided into the categories of 'experiences, 'accommodation' and 'transport' and each of these categories is further subdivided. For example 'accommodation' contains sub-categories of hotels, B&B's etc.

Google Maps Satellite Views of Chernobyl
Contando Estrelas: Chernobyl 25 Years Later
Today marks the 25th anniversary of the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Ukraine. Google Maps' satellite view gives us a great insight into the devastation of this once thriving area.
Italian website Contando Estrelas has written an informative article on the destruction of the area around the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl, which it has illustrated with satellite views from Google Maps.
The article shows images of the power plant itself, the now ghost town of Pripyat (including a Ferris wheel that had been constructed for the May 1st celebrations), abandoned ships in a port to the north of Chernobyl and a graveyard of trucks, tanks, helicopters and other vehicles used after the explosion of 1986 (all of which had to be abandoned because of their exposure to high radiation levels).
The article is in Spanish.

The Most Addictive Google Maps Game Yet
Fleck
Hi, my name's Keir and I'm a Cityville addict. There, I've finally admitted it. I feel happy to admit to my addiction though ... because I've found the cure by becoming hooked to Fleck instead.
Fleck is a a massively-multiplayer online world that actually takes place on Google Maps. In Fleck you can build a house, decorate your neighborhood with plants, shrubs and trees, harvest your plants and, if that all sounds a bit tame, you can even shoot the odd zombie or two.
In the game you can also interact with other players, team-up against zombies, expand your empire by buying restaurants. Restaurants earn you a little extra income and can help other players as well when they buy food from your restaurant to recover a little health.
That's enough for now. I've got an empire to build!

The Best Google Maps of the Week
Marker / Music
My favourite map this week was probably the simplest. This map is just a handful of markers with embedded videos. However the idea behind it is inspired.
Each of the videos features a different musical instrument. If you open up the videos you can play and mix the sounds being played in each video. You can even adjust the volume of each video / instrument.
Trulia: Price Reductions Map
At the other end of the complexity scale comes this amazing map from Trulia. This map uses the canvas element to create a heat map. As well as being amazing the map is also very useful for house buyers.
The map displays house price change data from live non-foreclosure listings and tracks all price reductions from March 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. Using Trulia's Google Map it is possible to search by zip-code for the average number of days a house is on the market in that area before sellers make their first reduction.
Plnnr
Plnnr helps you plan your perfect vacation. Using Plnnr you just need to enter your vacation destination and the date you wish to travel and you are presented with a personalised ready-to-use itinerary for your trip.

The Singapore Election on Google Maps
Singapore Electoral Map 2011
Singapore will be holding parliamentary elections on 7th May.
One quirk of the Singapore electoral system is that constituency boundaries are changed for each election. This can be quite confusing for voters so Singapore Maps has created this Google Map to help voters discover which constituency they are in.
Users can enter an address or postcode to find out their constituency. The constituency boundaries are also clearly displayed on the map. If you click on the map you can also find out which candidates are standing in each constituency for both political parties.

A Tsunami Model on Google Maps
Tsunami Mapper
Tsunami Mapper makes use of the Google Maps elevation service and a flood fill algorithm to display the likely effects of a tsunami hitting the shore anywhere in the world.
The map allows you to enter a location and then set the parameters of a possible tsunami. These include the wave height, the direction of the wave to travel and the tsunami starting point. The map will then display the areas that are likely to be effected by water damage if such a tsunami hit your location.
Predicting the height and effect of tsunamis is an inexact science and there are of course lots of complex variables at play that can't be predicted. Therefore this application is intended as a general guide not as a true predictor.

Red Wins the Inaugural Google Map Attack
MapAttack
Geoloqi has launched a new Google Maps based location game for mobile phones called MapAttacks.
The first beta test of MapAttack was held at the Park Blocks in Portland, Oregon last week. The game seems to involve two teams of players having to collect points in the real world by following the locations of the points as shown on a Google Map. The map also displays the locations of all the players in real-time.
At the moment Geoloqi have two more games of MapAttack lined up. One will be in Medellín, Colombia later this summer. The other is taking place today at WhereCamp at Stanford University. If you want to follow today's game (or get a sneak peek) you can do so here.

Quelles nouveautés pour Minecraft 1.6 ?
Minecraft 1.6 ne devrait pas se faire trop attendre. En effet, Notch n'hésite pas à communiquer sur les MAJ à venir. On pense notamment à :
Minimap / Automapping : une carte se générera au fur et à mesure de vos explorations.
Statistiques & Succès : encore plus de statistiques et de succès (ok, on s'en fout).
Mode Piston : on ne présente plus cette adaptation du Mod attendu par bon nombre de joueurs.
Et vous, qu'espérez-vous pour Minecraft Beta 1.6 ?
