Delft in 3D on Google Maps
TU Delft Cloudviewer
The TU Delft Cloudviewer is the first application to allow 3D exploration of massive point clouds directly from a web browser. The Cloudviewer lets you explore Delft in the Netherlands in 3D, from a number of angles and points of view.
The TU Delft Cloudviewer was developed as a final student project for the Minor 3D Virtual Earth. As part of the project aerial photography and 3D point clouds were pre-processed for use in a real-time 3D rendering engine. Then students designed a system to simulate a virtual camera that creates tens of thousands of oblique 'birds-eye' snapshots for various zoom-levels and viewing angles.
These resulting images are then shown in the Cloudviewer as a layer in Google Maps. Using Google Maps you can explore the 3D point clouds from a number of different perspectives. There are three oblique views available, from 90, 45 and 20 degrees. It is also possible to rotate the point clouds to view the resulting images from north, south, east and west.

Spanish Election Results on Google Maps
El Microscopio del Voto
Vizzuality have a history of producing some of the most interesting and beautiful Google Maps applications. Their latest effort for the Spanish broadcaster RTVE is up their with the best of them.
The map presents the 2011 Spanish electoral results in the context of historical electoral results and a vast range of demographic indicators. Using the map you can view electoral results since 1987 and discover how the electoral and socio-economic landscape of Spain has evolved over the last few decades.
The map allows you to visualise 15 datasets at 3 different administrative levels over more than 20 years. All the data is visualised on the map using colour coded custom tiles and the result is a great looking map that presents a huge amount of data via a user friendly interface.

Minecraft 1.6 : le Trailer Vidéo
Voici le Trailer Officiel de Minecraft 1.6 mettant en scène quelques nouveautés. De quoi bien nous donner envie !
Introducing the Google Maps Label Library
MapLabel Utility Library
MapLabel is a very nice utility library for the Google Maps API that allows you to add labels to Google Maps.
Labels created with the utility are dynamically rendered on Google Maps using Canvas 2D. Developers can define the font size, the font face, color and alignment of the labels. I've created a demo of the library in action here, which (at the risk of seeming obsessive) places labels on a map of the 2012 London Olympics site.
One really useful feature in the library is the maxZoom and minZoom controls. These let you define at what zoom levels labels should be visible. In my example map above if you zoom in on the Westfield Shopping Mall the 'Westfield Shopping Mall' label disappears and a number of other labels become visible, showing the locations of individual stores.
If you want to know more check out the reference documents and the source code.

The Volcanic Ash Cloud on Google Maps
Flightradar24
The eruption of the Grimsvotn volcano in Iceland has caused a huge ash cloud that is now affecting flights in Iceland and Scotland. Flightradar24, the live flight tracking Google Map, has now added an overlay to show the current position of the cloud.
The map shows the movements of flights in real-time. At the time of writing the map shows that most European flights seem to be unaffected by the cloud but there seem to be very few flights in and out of Scotland.
The BBC are reporting that flights to and from the airports of Londonderry, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Prestwick, Durham Tees Valley, Newcastle and Carlisle are likely to be affected by the ash cloud.
