To use the feature click on the Google Maps' My Maps tab and select The Weather Channel feature to begin exploring."

Picasa is a cool new web app from Google that allows users to upload images to a location on a map. Great way to document vacations, suggest cool roadtrips, etc. It looks like it can be easily integrated with Blogger Blogs. Pretty cool

Ever since Google's Street View feature was added to Google Maps, people have been searching for funny or embarrassing photos that were captured by the Googlevan.

Here's a huge list of Street View sightings, including such classics as: googlevan reflected in building window, man caught exiting a strip club, dude breaking into a house, whoops - your thong is showing, and googlevan racing through a speed trap.

Have fun, geovoyeurs.

The folks over at Google have added a street view to their maps. It's only currently working on major cities right now. Check out New York and travel along the Brooklyn Tunnel or Bridge. Very cool.

Google's started a "geo" blog devoted to web mapping, online GIS APIs, and location enabled online happenings.

"Tired to walk on the same places everyday? Everytime that you go walk, you don't know where? Walk in a straight line!

It's very easy and you will never get lost, because you always will arrive in the start point after walk around the whole world. :-)

How can we help you? It's simple, just use our Google Maps Mashup to choose the place that you will start from and what direction you are going to walk, and then, we show where you gonna pass if you walk in a straight line around the world."

Here's a literal take on the viral web. Biomedical scientists used Google Earth to map the spread of the avian flu virus. The simulation contains additional data points including various strains of virus evolution and the hosts organisms that it is able to infect.

Create and share personalized, annotated maps. Mark your favorite places, draw lines and shapes to highlight paths and areas, add your own text, photos and videos and share your maps with family and friends.
