Buenos Aires in Panorama

Foto Recorridos

Foto Recorridos is a collection of 360 degree panoramic photos of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The site uses Google Maps to show the locations of all the interactive panoramas of the city.

The panoramas contain links that allow you to navigate from one image to another. You can also click on the map markers to load the panorama for that location. As you navigate from one interactive image to another a green line is drawn on the map to connect the panoramas. This feature allows the viewer to tell at a glance which photographs have already been viewed.

Street View Coming for Argentina

Website FayerWayer say that Brazil and Argentina will be the next Latin American countries to get Google Maps Street View after the recent addition of imagery to Mexico.

For those who can't wait for the arrival of Street View FayerWayer have found two websites that already provide interactive 360 degree panoramic imagery in Argentina.

Mapplo

Mapplo have released a preview of a new Street View type service for Buenos Aires. In the preview you can visit the neighborhoods of Palermo, Belgrano, Caballito and other areas such as Recoleta and Almagro. Points of interest covered so far include the River Plate Football Stadium, the Natural History Museum and Centennial Park.

Fotocalle

Fotocalle first featured on Google Maps Mania in November 2009. Fotocalle have a Street View type service for Buenos Aires, Argentina. The site stitches together a number of interactive 360 degree panoramas of the city. The panoramas, just like Street View, include links to adjacent panoramas.

Fotocalle uses Google Maps as a navigation tool. Again like Street View the roads on the map with panoramas are coloured blue and it is possible to drag the map marker to view the panorama at a location.

The Human Race on Google Maps

The Human Race 10k Map

I'm just going to take a brief 5,000 mile detour from Mexico Day on Google Maps Mania for this cool Nike Google Map. On the 24th October the 10k Human Race in Buenos Aires included five celebrity runners who live broadcasted their participation in the race using a combination of voice data, Twitter and Google Maps.

The five runners were Argentine celebrity Favio Posca, the sports journalists German Paoloski and Marcelo Gantman, the actress Brenda Asnicar and the professional runner Oscar Cortinez. During the race they used iPhones to record voice messages that were turned automatically into text, published via Twitter and then plotted on a Google Map.
