Google Maps

You can't and you never will be able to.

I often wondered the same thing. Here's what I found out:

Since coming across similar articles online, I emailed Immersive Media, to find out

if this is true.

Finding yourself on Google Maps or Google Earth is no easy task. If you happen to see the Google Street View drive by then chances are you might be caught in Street View imagery for all to see but many people are caught unaware, and there is no simple Google search to check. Many people explore Street View in their local neighborhood and sometimes stumble upon themselves or a neighbor caught in the image but in many cases Google would blur such images before it even gets released to the public.

If you are found on Google Maps or Google Earth Street View imagery then you can request to have yourself blurred further. Click the 'Report a problem link' on Google Maps or Google Earth and fill out the form.

Google Maps and Yahoo Maps are both very similar. They both give driving instructions and show maps of an area. The main difference is the layout of the site and the search results of locations.

Google Maps was initially created and designed by two Danish brothers Lars and Jens Rasmussen at the Sydney, Australia-based company Where 2 Technologies, which was bought by Google in 2004. Subsequently they were located at Google's Australian office in Sydney.

To save a map from Google maps to Word, one first would right click on the map and then press "copy." Then switch to Word and decide where you want the map. Once you have chosen a site, right click and click "paste."

On January 23, 2006, Google Maps was updated to use the same satellite image database as Google Earth. On March 12, 2006, Google Mars was launched, which features a draggable map and satellite imagery of the planet Mars. Source Wikipedia.

Some sources state that in 2009 there are roughly 55 Million unique visitors each month in the US. In 2010, Google announced that more than 100 million people a month are now using Google Maps for mobile.

Google Maps is a website you visit in your web browser. There is no software to download like you do for Google Earth. Both Google Maps and Google Earth are free to use.

See URL in related links below.

If you have larger enough property then you can put a sign or structure large enough to see from space (some do just that). For all practical intents it's easier to put a placemark on your house's location in Google Earth or Google Maps.

There are a number of free third party tools to draw circles and produce KML that can be viewed in Google Earth.

With some such tools you can create a circle of a fixed radius at a center point by latitude/longitude. Likewise you could dynamically draw a circle at the center of your current view and redraw itself every time you move then stop.

Google Earth Pro can draw circles with the Ruler tool but the free version of Google Earth client does not support this so you must use a third party tool.

See related link below for a free online circle generator where you can specify a center point and radius or auto-draw a circle wherever you're looking at.

In 2006 Google Maps was updated to use the same satellite image database as Google Earth. Before that Google had to update and process imagery for both Google Earth and Google Maps where the maps where often out of sync with each other. Now Google updates its central map & imagery database and the updates are made available to both Google Earth and Google Maps at once.

The time between getting imagery from satellite and seeing it on Google Maps is far from real-time. Once the imagery is taken by satellite, it takes time to process the data by a commercial provider like GeoEye before it is available to Google and other customers. Google will do additional processing to convert imagery into the format and coordinate system of its internal databases. This is one reason you normally won't find any imagery younger than about 6 months.

For these reasons, the Google map & imagery database is updated once or twice a month.

A nautical chart (map) shows the shore and land-marks, sea bed conditions, navigation hazards, buoyed channels, and so on, relating to the safe navigation of vessels and inshore boats.

Street view photos are updated on an ongoing basis but general plan is to include more and more cities than keep any given city's photos current. More cities are added every day.

Check out related link to see where the cars are currently driving and pick the county to see the list for that country.

To get latitude and longitude on Google Maps, you can simply right-click on the location on the map and select "What's here?" A small box will appear at the bottom of the screen with the coordinates displayed. Alternatively, you can type the location's name in the search bar, and the coordinates will be shown in the search results.

I think the light blue shade represents sports facilities, like sports complexes and dedicated playgrounds. This is not based on any official Google source, but I see that all the blue shades are on such sports facilities.
