Google Earth Will Be Ported to Linux

[The Map Room: A Weblog About Maps] When asked if the additions to WINE would bootstrap Google Earth’s porting progress, DiBona answered in the negative, explaining that Google Earth relied on Qt and GL libraries and code, so additional WINE support would not help. No timeline for that application’s release was revealed at this time.

Google Earth, Mashups & KML

[g-WH!Z] I’m tickled to be rediscovering Google Earth. The Mac client is actually quite robust and I’m anxious to learn the KML to begin mashing up our own content on Google Earth.

Google Mars!

[Nafcom's Crap Blog!] check out a 3-D fly-through movie of Valles Marineris made using Google Mars data here. Also, I found here at the Anything Else blog that Google Earth is planed for Linux too now!

How to Geocode Your Blog

[Geospatial Semantic Web Blog] Yes, try geo microformat. A nice thing about microformat is that it allows you to add semantic tags to information that already existed on the Web, as oppose to asking you to define a separate version of the semantic information from scratch.

Geocoding Irish Addresses

[polytechnic |] John beats Lycos and Google into submission with cURL (and tea no doubt), resulting in a working method to geocode Irish addresses.

Google Subscribed Links API

[Web Sage Collective] Google is looking good with the dominance in search and an already large community working to extend Google Local and Google Earth. It will be interesting to see what plays out when we move to a more geocoded world and our devices become more portable and broadband access extends even further.

Geotagging Manhattan

[The Daily ACK] - Dennis CrowleyIt turns out it's down to the new accounting regulations that require cities to inventory virtually everything, including lamp posts, to keep their credit rating. Despite this you have to hope that they'll publish the data, but considering the "security concerns" that would doubtless be raised by that I guess they'll probably manage to avoid it.

Oberwolfach files

[NeverEndingBooks] A few metres further, you have a view at the highest mountains in the vicinity of the Institute : the Grosser Hundskopf (947m) and Kleiner Hundskopf (926m) as on the left. Then, descend along the Kirchhofweg over Moosbauerhof all the way down to the Dohlenbacherhof where you hit the main road which brings you back to the institute going SW.

Meetro does IM Geolocation (hey, kinda like us!)

[EisenBlog - Marc Eisenstadt's Home Page Blog at The Open University's Knowledge Media Institute] Got an invite from Stowe Boyd to Meetro, a new geoloc-IM-thingie, but with a weird return email address for Stowe which looked suspicious. Haven’t had a chance to try it out, but was relieved to see Stowe’s comment about the poor user interface that led to a bit of inadverdent social spam.

Map Mobbing

[ Past Thinking] In the UK, most current mapping is all privately owned (by the Ordnance Survey - despite being a government department, and a number of others). Using it can be either expensive, or you tread dodgy ground by trying to make your own derivatives from it (including digitising their aerial photographs).

Wayfinder Earth

[The Daily ACK] The application supposedly uses a two tiered solution, with a Google Earth-like 3D interface for distant views, dropping to a 2D interface when the user zooms in further.
