The Map Room: A Google Maps Roundup

A Google Maps Roundup

About a month’s worth of links related to Google Maps from my increasingly preposterous queue. Because the news wasn’t all about Street View.

The imagery update announced in early June for Google Earth was applied to Google Maps only a week later.
More cities have transit data.
Expanded coverage of India and Maps for the United Arab Emirates have now been added to Google Maps. A few weeks ago, Sweden got a localized version with transit and business data.
Businesses can edit their local search listings; people can add reviews to them.
Google continues to integrate maps into its other products: YouTube videos can now be geotagged.
More on Mapplets (see previous entry); they’re also browsable.

(I’ve also been accumulating some Yahoo Maps content, for a later post.)
