You don't run across many developers experimenting amongst the Google Maps API these days. This is a shame, every bit y'all tin practise to a greater extent than or less amazing visual effects using the satellite imagery from Google Maps - every bit these experiments volition hopefully demonstrate/
Urban Collage allows y'all to sentiment an animated collage of a release of the same satellite views, seen at unlike zoom levels. To practise your collage y'all only ask to come inwards ii locations (they ask to survive locations that y'all tin motility between). The application in addition to then uses your ii locations to slow pan through the driving road betwixt those ii cities. Essentially y'all are presented amongst an urban collage of the road every bit seen at unlike zoom levels inwards Google Maps aerial view.
One of the commencement applications to experiment amongst cutting upwards Google Maps satellite views was #rorschmap. #rorschmap uses the Google Maps API to practise a kaleidoscope for whatsoever place on the Earth.
The application displays the Google Maps satellite sentiment of whatsoever place inwards the public and, using the same regulation of multiple reflection that y'all detect inwards kaleidoscopes, creates an animated Rorschach examine effect.
Displayce is to a greater extent than or less other serial of visual map experiments created using the Google Maps API. Each of the experimental views inwards Displayce uses a release of Google Map instances on ane page to practise an experimental map pattern.
For example, 'foci' (pictured above) overlays a release of Google Maps aerial views on pinnacle of each other. Each map instance shows a sentiment of the same place but each map has a consecutively lower zoom level.
Displayce includes iv unlike map experiments all creating a unlike visual outcome past times stitching together unlike map instances to practise unlike patterns. You tin come inwards whatsoever place inwards the public into each of the experiments and, if y'all similar the resulting experimental map, y'all tin select grip of the URL for the sentiment in addition to portion it amongst your friends.
Of shape Google Maps aerial views are oftentimes industrial plant of fine art inwards their ain right. The public is a beautiful house in addition to that beauty tin survive flora inwards many Google Maps satellite images.
Chuchichechocha is a Google Maps satellite sentiment slideshow, developed past times David Schmidt, which showcases to a greater extent than or less of the nearly beautiful views flora on Google Maps.
