This calendar week I was especially impressed yesteryear 2 innovative uses of the Google Maps API.
The Custom Street View alternative has been available inwards the Maps API for a piece simply I even then haven't seen many neat examples of developers creating their ain custom Street Views. The Metapanoramas Project grabbed my heart this week. Not exclusively does it purpose the Custom Street View business office simply it has invented a whole novel purpose for it
The Metapanoramas Project is an amazing experiment that uses the Google Maps API to attain 360° score Street View paintings. It is a projection which, inwards the words of the artist, "expands the two-dimensional limits of traditional painting".
The viewer of the artwork is non express to a static persuasion of the painting. The paintings tin move explored every bit y'all would explore a Google Maps Street View. You tin pan unopen to 360° degrees, y'all tin pan upward in addition to persuasion the heaven in addition to y'all tin pan downwards to persuasion the ground. Amazing!
Another human face of the Google Maps API that I experience is underused yesteryear developers is the similar a shot quite large coverage on Google Maps of 45°(Bird's Eye) aerial satellite views. Google Guns is an impressive tank fighting game that takes amount payoff of Google Maps' 45° satellite views.
You tin select from a pose out of pre-set battlefield locations for your tank fight. After y'all attain got selected the place the 4 tanks inwards your solid set down forces are displayed at the bottom of a Google Map. The enemy tanks assail inwards waves from the tiptop of the screen.
Your chore is to kill the endless waves of enemy tanks.
