    Greetings Dotto, I actually had a practical application for the time view. Earlier this year I was finishing my dissertation in ethnomusicology (in other words musical anthropology). I did field work in New Orleans back in 2010 and the time and street views helped me collect data that I'd missed or forgot about. It also helped me figure out what happened to some of the buildings I visited that no longer exist or drastically changed.
    Peace, Love, and Breath!

    It's amazing how far they've progressed with internet maps and satellite imagery in the last 15 years. I remember back in 2000 when Terra Server was the latest thing on the internet. At that time all you got was black and white satellite imagery that covered just the U.S.. The server was slow and the resolution was undefinable below 400 feet. Now they have just about the entire world covered in color and 3D. With Google Earth you can see the terrain in the oceans. For about $15,000 you could build your own Google Earth Liquid Galaxy machine with five HD monitors.

    I would also recommend using the "report a problem" when the best route is not shown or when a business datum is not accurate.
    BTW, the marine drive skytrain station in reality is quite different than the picture on street view. There's a huge building over it now.

  • @blindthief
    @blindthief 8 лет назад

    You don't even need the asterisk. You can just click on "nearby business" and the red dots on the map will pop up. Google Maps is good and useful but I'm wishing it will advance even more. For street views I want smoother animation so that you can move without stopping (same way you would control a character in a video game). I also would like to see more places covered. When I research an unknown place I want to discover every parking space. This saves a ton of time and hassle, especially for someone who is disabled such as myself.

All done in walking mode. Please add that tip.

    I haven't really used Google Maps, because I am a Windows Phone user, so I run with Here Maps on my cellphone. However, after fiddling with Google Maps, the options are quite nice. I found out that you can customize the Transit option to favor buses, subway or trains, which is neat. And you even get options to reduce the amount of transfers or walking.
    I was rather surprised to find that you can actually get a share link for the directions. That's definitely a top notch feature.

    Another well done and very informative video Steve. It is great that Google saves directions so I can view them on my android device. Sadly, since the last major update, I have only been able to get it to save the routes that Google suggests (unfortunately not always the best route), I have not been able to get it to save an edited route. Do you have any recommendations to get around this?
