Google Maps is an excellent application for generating maps, point-to-point driving directions and satellite photographs. PowerWEB Zoom shares some of the pan and zoom functionality, but is a general purpose image viewer, not limited to maps. Also, Zoom is used as an ASP.NET server control and does not require any javascript coding or external APIs to function. Yes, PowerWEB Zoom functions under ASP.NET 1.0, 1.1, and 2.

Ajax has become a buzzword that is sometimes misused when meant to describe simple client-side functionality. In reality, Ajax is browser to server communication for updating or retrieving data, ultimately driving interface changes. These changes do not require full page PostBacks or refreshes. In this way, Zoom is fully Ajax-enabled. As you pan around an image, sections of the full image are rendered on the server and loaded into the browser view area. See similar questions...

Yes, PowerWEB Zoom is fully compatible with PowerWEB LiveControls and TextBox. By combining other PowerWEB controls in your application, extremely rich applications can be developed. For example, using LiveControls, you can change properties and images within Zoom without using a PostBack. See similar questions...

While there are no hard-coded limits to the size of an image that may be used with Zoom, there are some server resource limitations that must be taken into consideration. Zoom renders resized images and tiles on the fly and stores them on disk. If using particularly high Quality and InterpolationMode settings, these images may take up a significant amount of disk space. See similar questions...

Like the Google Earth support, there's no requirement to also load and georeference images, i.e. you can use it to show only tracklogs. See similar questions...

A Zoom Center is an area where all 8 zoom levels (Top,64m,32m,16m,8m,4m,2m,1m) are available for b/w or color aerial maps or 7 levels (Top,64m,32m,16m,8m,4m,2m) for color topo maps. The map tiles of the Zoom Center are outlined with a magenta rectangle on the map (see screenshots for example). For the rest of the area, only upper-level maps (Top,64m,32m,16m) are available. If you are interested in detail maps for some area, i.e. near a geocache, make a Zoom Center around it. See similar questions...

First, you will want to find the map using Google's Satellite interface. Search for the location in the location bar, and move the map around until you find a good shot. You will now see that the URL is updated in the Location bar in your browser.

See the online poster, Human Genome Landmarks: Selected Traits and Disorders Mapped to Chromosomes. This poster provides chromosome-by-chromosome maps of some of the genes, traits, and disorders that have been linked to each chromosome. These maps were generated using the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database. The Genome Database (GDB) and the Human Genome Map Viewer available through the National Center for Biotechnology (NCBI) are other resources that you can use to browse the genome.

Once again, the South American Explorer's Club offers paper maps, both of Machu Picchu and of the Inca Trail. For online maps, there's a good map of the Inca Trail at Infoperu, as well as my own map of the Inca Trail on this site. Wholeo Online books have a sketch map of Machu Picchu, and there's a more precise but unlabelled map available as part of an article about a multimedia feature on Machu Picchu.

I actually used a script that I wrote myself to digitise my route. It displays a Google map, and when I click on the map, it displays the longitude and latitude of the resulting point in a format I can copy out and paste into a text file. I then apply a few regular expressions to the file, and out pops a Google Maps XML file, as well as a Google Earth KML file. This system proved to be in tune with my needs – it pays to be a programmer sometimes! See similar questions...

Google Earth is a program you download and install on your computer. There are versions for Windows and Mac OS X computers available.
