- Social spying, cont.: Everything you've ever wanted to know about Iran and North Korea's deployment of S-200 surface-to-air missile systems, courtesy of Sean O'Connor in his IMINT & Analysis blog, using copious screenshots from Google Earth.
- ImageAmerica: Want to know what ImageAmerica did before it was bought up by Google? Here is what their site held in February 2007, courtesy of the Wayback Machine.
- Java geoconverter: Via the comments, "yet another route converter", this one using the Java Runtime Environment, so it is very multi-platform.
- Cosmic: Barnabu just keeps on outdoing him (her?) self. The latest: Cosmic microwave background radiation on a sphere!
- GPS with iPhone: Does the iPhone do GPS tracking? In a manner of speaking, yes, albeit convolutedly, using an external GPS tracker and Mologogo. Details here.
- Alpine huts: 1,300 Alpine huts and shelters as KML? Should come in handy in a few weeks when I go trekking in the Alps. I hope they're accurate:-)
- Internet speed: Wishing your virtual globe would download its data faster? Why not go live in Sweden, where we may soon all have 40-gigabit per second download speeds. Yes, you read that right.
- NATO adopts GML as its geospatial reference format.
- DIY GPS: Build your own mobile GPS tracker.
- Mapplet tutorial: A very good tutorial on how to make a Google Maps mapplet.
- 3D on a 2D Map: AfterCAD announces a georeferenced publishing solution for their 3D models that uses Google Maps. Surely that is a mistake, and they mean Google Earth? No, Google Maps-based it is. Click on an icon on the map, and get a popup containing a 3D model. I'm not convinced this web-based mapping solution is as compelling as, say, Microsoft Virtual Earth, though it does work on the Mac.
- NASA: For the record: Google Earth gets default NASA layers.
