Google creates mapplet to other mapplets

Google has created a mapplet to other mapplets. A mapplet is a saved map on Google maps with specific pin points to areas of choice. For example the one lets you see all the nearby gas prices










Once you add the google made mapplet then you'll be able to browse for other useful ones like these

WTF Google Moon?

http://moon.google.com/











Apparently the guys over at Google made a little Google moon site (Yes I realize this is an old site) with images provided to them by NASA. This has always been an interesting subject to me. I'm still not quite sure who to believe so I turn to you bloggers out there for insight.



What's funny to me is that even if you zoom in I still don't see a flag. Yeah I know "Gio the flag is way too small to be seen from earth" Sure but why hasn't some telescope from space picked it up, at the very least to debunk all the conspiracy theorists.

What do you guys think? These guys seem pretty convinced it happened.

Embedding Google Streets Maps

Google just launched a new feature that allows you to Embed a Google maps address to you blog or web page. Unfortunately though the feature is not availible for google streets
Fortunately there is a site that will allow you to embed you street maps to any page and it's http://streetviewr.com/embed/ .



Simply past the link that google provides to you.....



...into their site and you'll get the code that will allow you to do this:




Whoops.. little too close!


**Note
If this Embed page gives you code that looks like this:

<>< width="425" height="350" frameborder="no" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="">svc/gsv_view_private.php?cbll=37.320658,-121.876423&....">< /iframe >

As it did me, make sure to change "svc/gsv_view_private.php?" to "embed/gsv_public.php?" and all shall be well again.
