Google Earth is a program you download and install on your computer. There are versions for Windows and Mac OS X computers available. Google Earth allows you to view satellite photos, maps, geographic terrain and 3D models of buildings from around the world. Plus, Google has partnered with several content providers to give users even more information about popular and interesting places, and AIA is now one of those providers.

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!

There are no current plans to add more real estate plat map or atlas volumes to the Historic Pittsburgh Web site.

Original volumes of real estate plat maps and atlases exist throughout the city. Contact the following institutions to inquire about the volumes in their holdings and their policies for access and use of these maps:

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.

The Broadcast Web Site (BWS) is a DAB specified application that uses the MOT carousel to deliver the application data. The BWS specification has been developed by Eureka and should be available from the WorldDAB/Eureka web servers in advance of its publication as a European Norm by ETSI.

No, a domain can include multiple computers. We normally set up simple hosting accounts to have several "virtual" computers in the domain to handle web hosting and mail delivery.

You must geotag the article. The simplest way to do this is to use the {{coord}} template. This template can be used anywhere within the article text. For example, if the article for San Francisco, California contained this markup anywhere within the article text: {{coord|37|46|N|122|26|W|display=title}} Although the display parameter is not required in this template, you must use it with the title keyword if you want it to appear in the Geographic Web layer.

We tried the lot of them, here's what we found: Gmail works in basic HTML mode, we didn't get it going in its full AJAXy form. Google maps worked well, draggable maps and all, but the format was messed up -- no search, no address entry. It was very weird. Calendar ran our browser out of memory the first time (huh?), but the second time it loaded -- awfully. So to answer your question, your mileage may vary with the fun AJAXy sites, but Google web apps didn't work too hot.

Once your web site is on-line, you will want visitors (to help increase sales, and exposure). To do this, you will want to make sure your web site is setup properly for search engines to easily 'rate and index' your site. The methods that each search engine use are varied, and change often (to help make sure content is fresh and new that they rate high on their search results). Here are a couple of good links that can help you get started

You must at least register your site with search engines and directories. We can arrange manual registration for you. There are companies that offer to register you to thousands of search engines. They do this using software packages that email your details to the search engines. Many search engines treat this as spam mail, and often block you from registering your details in the future.

This is a question we get asked a lot. To be honest, there is no definite time-scale we can predict for your web site to appear on Google (or any other search engines for that matter) as Google seems to index web sites anywhere between one week or three months. We have created web sites in the past that have appeared on Google within a matter of days. Unfortunately its the luck of the draw. However, when you do get listed you will most likely get a good position quickly. Top

Note that Terrabrowser was created before Google Earth existed and might not have been written otherwise. Bearing that in mind Terrabrowser offers... Lightweight browsing - Terrabrowser won't hog your CPU like Google Earth. Of course, there aren't any 3D effects either...

Now, any time you see a "Google Earth" button in Virtual Globetrotting, you can click on it to get an export for Google Earth:

I don't have any on webfoot.com, but my friends over at Juice Analytics have overlays for some census data as well as general Google Earth resources.

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. Before it would just say http://maps.google.com, and now it should contain the extra location information: Finally, go to the submissions interface. You will need at least the following information about the map:

Google Maps is a free web-based mapping service application. It powers many map-based services including the Google Maps website and embedded maps on third-party websites using the Google Maps API. GreenMap.org utilizes Google Maps to display all the Green Map projects at GreenMap.org.

In a recent survey conducted by Vividence Corporation, people were asked to rate their experience with select search engine sites. 89% of the respondents reported a 'strongly positive' experience with Google, far surpassing the competition. Google's targeted advertising program AdWords is the largest and fastest growing in the industry and provides businesses of all sizes with measurable results, while enhancing the overall web experience for users.

We'll do a basic search of the terms that people are most likely to use for your type of business and, if you want, show you how you can put the right words on each page of your site to encourage surfing 'traffic'. We can also submit your site to the main search engines. However, 'optimising' your site - getting it to appear high up in the page rankings - is different and more complicated. Let us quote if this is something you need.
