UK Freeview Reception on Google Maps

UK Free TV: Freeview Map

If you live in the UK and are considering getting the Freeview satellite TV service then you should check out this excellent Freeview Reception map.

To find out how good the Freeview reception is at your address just enter a postcode, national grid reference or a latitude and longitude. A Google Map of your location will then be displayed showing the television transmitters that you receive television from.

It is also possible to view the returned results by direction, received signal strength, by frequency, service name or transmitter name.

The yellow areas on the map show where the transmitter provides the best signal, the green area is where there is overlap and where the selected transmitter is not the strongest signal.

Lost on Google Maps

We couldn't let the Lost finale pass by without a mention. It's been nearly six years since the show first aired so it is a bit surprising that we have only seen two attempts to map references from the enigmatic TV programme.

However since one of those two maps is the excellent Washington Post's 'Lost Map' fans of the show should be satisfied.

Washington Post 'Lost' Map

The Washington Post have used their excellent Google Maps time-line interface 'TimeSpace' to try and make sense of of the labyrinthine plot of the popular television programme 'Lost'.

The map allows you to explore the show by year, location or season. The map markers include small summaries of the storyline and photographs of the show's stars. The information windows also contain links to episode explanations on Celebritology.

There is an embed option that allows you to put the map in your own website and the option to link to the current map view.

LOST Maps
This Google My Map has four collaborators who have been tirelessly mapping references from Lost. Well, actually not that tirelessly, as the map hasn't been updated for a while.

Entourage Google Map

Eat Like THEM

Eat Like THEM is an interactive Google Map showing the restaurants and locations featured in the television show Entourage. The site includes maps for each of the five series of the show.

The restaurant map markers include links to Zagat and other restaurant review websites. The markers also include a brief description of the scene shot at that location. One feature that the site doesn't include is Street View. It would be nice to be able to view the restaurants featured via Google's panoramic image service.

Seinfeld Clips on Google Maps

Seinfeld Google Map

Fans of Seinfeld are going to love this Google Map from Sony Pictures. The map shows many of the New York locations used in the hit comedy series. More excitingly, each location comes with a short video clip from the show.

As EW.com point out the show was actually shot in Los Angeles, so a little creativity seems to have gone into the placement of some of the locations. This could be why there is no Street View option on the map. This is a bit of a shame as some of the locations, such as Monk's Diner (Tom's Restaurant in real life), can actually be found on Street View.
