Strit Viu

Strit Viu has been created to collect the best Street View images found in Brazil. The site allows users to submit the funny or memorable images they find in Street View and share them with the world.

You can search the submitted Street Views by location or by rank. Strit Viu also plans to add categories soon, so you will also be able search the images by tag.

Dublin Journey Planner on Google Maps

Hit the Road

Hit the Road is a route planner for Dublin that shows you how to get between any two points in the city by bus, Luas and DART routes.

It is possible to find a route by either dropping map markers on the map to show your start and finish points or by entering addresses in the search boxes. Possible routes are then displayed on the map and the steps on the journey are displayed in the map side panel.

Alternative routes are indicated by numbered icons in the side panel. If you roll over one of these icons the alternate route is automatically displayed on the map. All the suggested routes tell you which number buses to take and give the estimated journey time.

Australian Demographics on Google Maps

NuMaps

NuMap is a Google Maps based application to view and analyse demographic data for any Australian Federal Government Electorate.

Using the map it is possible to view a large number of demographic datasets for any Federal electorate. To start exploring the data you first need to choose an electorate from the myElectorate Panel. Once you have selected an electorate it will be highlighted on the map. You can then open the DemographicDrapes Panel and select the demographic data that you wish to view.

You can use the DemographicDrapes panel to analyse different aspects of your chosen electorate. The datasets include gender, housing, income, birthplace and many more.

Penguins on Street View

Antarctica 360 Street View

Google's new release of Street View last week included some stunning shots of Antarctica - and there are penguins!

I've thrown together this little application to show an automatic 360 pan of just one of the Street View images shown. When you load the page the Street View will rotate automatically. If you want to explore using Street View just press the stop button and navigate using the Street View arrows.
