Seeing new sights with photo overlays
Som nævnt i et tidligere indlæg (http://gisdk.blogspot.com/2010/06/pin-your-history-to-world.html) kan StreetView også bruges som en platform hvor igennem vi kan føle historiens vingesus ...
/Sik As mentioned in and earlier post (http://gisdk.blogspot.com/2010/06/pin-your-history-to-world.html) StreetView can be injected with history and giving life and presence to the past ...

Sometimes you want to explore a place for yourself, and sometimes you want to get a sense of how other people experience it. With our newest update to User Photos available within Street View, you can seamlessly do both. Now when you’re browsing a location in Street View, you can see user-contributed photographs directly overlaid within the panorama.
The new feature places thumbnails of relevant photos on top of the Street View imagery when you click the “Photos” option at the top right of the panorama. When you move your mouse cursor over one of these thumbnails, a photo appears which matches the content of the panoramic view. Using the overlays you can quickly preview several photos without changing your viewpoint or losing track of where you were. And if you click on the photo, you enter ourinteractive photo browser to explore additional pictures taken by the community.
It is now even easier to inspect architectural details and close-up quirks, or see what is happening at a place at more than one time of the day. Start to explore this new world through the eyes of other travelers with some of these locations:

Street View brings a taste of South Africa to football fans everywhere
Det er ikke mange år siden at Sydafrika bedst var kendt for Apartheid ... Heldigvis er der nogen ting som ændrer sig til det bedre ... VM kunne aldrig have været det samme ... De hvide spiller på den venstre banehalvdel og de sorte på den højre ...
/Sik Not so many years ago South Africa was synonymous with Apartheid ... Some things do chance for the better after all ... So now let's play ball ...

It’s not every day that you find an elephant in Street View, or for that matter get to visit most of the South African football (or you may know it better as soccer) stadiums in one day. But from today you can do both with our bumper set of brand new Street View images and 3D models of host nation South Africa.
With just days to go before the tournament kicks off, football fans can start soaking up the atmosphere in seven of South Africa’s soccer stadiums, including Soccer City in Johannesburg, Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane and Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. Thanks to some serious pedal-power by our trike riders in South Africa we’ve made available these pitch-level pictures from inside and outside of these stadiums. And we’ve created complete 3D models of all 10 stadiums, as well as many host cities which can be viewed in Google Earth -- check them out on the SketchUp Blog.
To make it easier for people to find all these great places South African Tourism have provided information on the most important sights. Visit maps.google.com/exploresouthafrica to start virtually exploring South Africa. Here are some amazing shots from on the field to get you excited:
Moses Mabdhiba Stadium:

Soccer City Stadium:

You can view more photos from inside the stadiums in our Street View gallery. But for those who can’t tell their keeper from their striker we’ve got something altogether different. There’s dramatic coastal scenery in the Cape; the urban buzz of Soweto, home to Nelson Mandela; or the world renowned Kruger National Park to explore at your leisure.
In fact, you’ll be greeted by a special host when you start exploring the imagery of Kruger:
View Larger Map
And this coastal view lets you see the sea, as well as Table Mountain in the distance:

Whatever colours you’ll be wearing when the whistle blows and whichever side you’ll be cheering for in the dreaded penalty shoot out, you can now get a sense for how it might feel for the players to step out onto the turf to take part in the most famous football/soccer tournament in the world!

København Street View Roulette – tilfældet råder som tilfældet vil
Tilbage i '95 eksisterede der en side som kunne sende dig hen til en tilfældig side på nettet ... Sjovt og fancinerende dengang ... En lignende 'service' findes ikke længere (?) - antallet af sider er eksploderet siden da så der er ikke længere behov for at surfe til en tilfældig side ...

Google's roving Street View spycam may blur your face, but it's got your number. The Street View service is under fire in Germany for scanning private WLAN networks, and recording users' unique Mac (Media Access Control) addresses, as the car trundles along.
Germany's Federal Commissioner for Data Protection Peter Schaar says he's "horrified" by the discovery.
"I am appalled… I call upon Google to delete previously unlawfully collected personal data on the wireless network immediately and stop the rides for Street View," according to German broadcaster ARD.
Spooks have long desired the ability to cross reference the Mac address of a user's connection with their real identity and virtual identity, such as their Gmail or Facebook account.
Other companies have logged broadcasting WLAN networks and published the information. By contrast Google has not published the WLAN map, or Street View in Germany; Google hopes to launch the service by the end of the year.
But Google's uniquely cavalier approach to privacy, and its potential ability to cross reference the information raises additional concerns. Google CEO Eric Schmidt recently said internet users shouldn't worry about privacy unless they have something to hide. And when there's nowhere left to hide...?
More from ARD here and Der Spiegel, here. The latter describes Google as a "data octopus". ®

Google Store Views will allow people to essentially walk into the store, off of Google Street Views. So imagine you are looking at this store, and then you can click on the door to enter it, all on Google Maps. Then when you enter the store, you can wall through it.
Here are pictures of Google capturing the pictures from within the store:
