Maps – More Types Than You Know
By Michael Russell

For most people, when they think of a map, they think of maybe a couple of different kinds. But the truth is, there are more types of maps than you can possibly imagine. We’re going to take a look at just a few of them and the kind of information you’ll get from them.

Tell me. What exactly can a globe do other than show you where land masses and bodies of water are located? Oh, right. It can spin around. I forgot that part. Seriously though, can’t it do anything cool?!

I don’t think there’s an easier way to geotag your digital photos in Windows. Check out the free Panorado Flyer:

JPEG image files can contain supplementary information (so-called Metadata). Technical metadata as described by the EXIF standard can contain fields for GPS data, like geographical latitude/longitude, altitude, and track. The Panorado Flyer tool enables you to get the coordinates of the place where the picture was shot and insert them into these fields. You can do it manually, using a dialog window. Or, if you have installed the Google Earth client (can be downloaded for free), you can search for the location there, drag it to the center of the map window, then change to Panorado flyer, grab the coordinates and insert them into the image selected, without typing any numbers.

Don’t think I’m going to do this terribly often, but certainly will consider it for future use.

It’s out, but I’m very sad to report that the new version of Google Earth is still calling on Arial as the default Window UI font (not the internal 3D mapping font, which is fine). Why do developers insist on using this instead of Tahoma (or Segoe UI, in the case of Windows Vista)?! Sorry, Google – if this is your first beta of v4.0, you’re already failing miserably in my book.
