Live transport on google maps, so far I know of Helsinki, Swiss Train system (via), Dublin. It’s pretty obvious this will be ubiquitous in the very near future.

Street Views
May 31, 2007 – 12:48 pm
A google maps upgrade called street view has just come out. First impressions are quite flash although it may not be that useful, try visiting Frank Gehrys ICA and click on the street view tab. Only a few American cities are covered at the moment but the short list of covered cities will hopefully [...]
lewism worldmap
July 27, 2006 – 11:21 am
I have just added a new section called map which locates on a worldmap (googlemap) any post which refers to a specific location in the world. You can scroll around and see where lewsim has been, as I can include coordinates with any post automatically! It should be really useful for a blog that is [...]
Google Earth Modelling
March 15, 2006 – 11:22 am
Jason Mill of pivnice emailed me about his new project ZNO. He creates 3d models to plug into Google Earth. A couple I tried of the Burj al arab and world projects in Dubai are really fantastic work, so go have a look. If he wants an idea for a Finnish building to model how [...]
Hyperdomus
March 6, 2006 – 5:03 pm
It had to happen eventually but Domus should be applauded for being the first major architecture magazine to put their building profiles from their latest edition into Google Earth. I would agree with Dan that while its a bit of a gimmick at the moment there is lots of potential here for the future for [...]

You can contribute also so is in principal [...]

There are Six world heritage sites in Finland at the moment, heres the list, Suomenlinna, Old Rauma, Bronze Age Burial Site of Sammallahdenmäki,Petäjävesi Old Church,Verla Groundwood and Board Mill, and Struve Geodetic Arc.
I found out by accident that I’d visited two already, Rauma and Suomenlinna, & they don’t differ from most of the others [...]
Virtual Amsterdam
October 10, 2005 – 1:50 pm
Arcam has a new (to me anyway) architectural map of Amsterdam online that you can browse and zoom. All part of the architectural guide which you can view as a timeline or search google style for architect, address or keyword in Amsterdam. Not bad, and perhaps a contributing factor to dutch architectures current strength. They [...]
Flickr city
July 5, 2005 – 12:17 pm
Chris Heathcote in his anti-mega blog has a really interesting application combining google maps & Flickr. He’s mapped it to New York, San Fransisco, London, Copenhagen, and Helsinki so far. I love this idea and it extends the useability of both really well. Its great fun but also I can imagine some very serious uses [...]
