Living on a Narrowboat
I spent about 20 searches today trying to re-locate, the Google Maps polyline creator tool.
As well as letting you create a polyline realtime and on the fly, it is the only resource on the net which is able to give the polyco-ords interracticveley, in a hh.mm.ss.mm format, Geo RSS format.
> googlemaps polyline creator.
This facility will allow you to grab www compliant co-ordinates from anywhere world-wide.
Just out of interest, I’ve taken a comparison of the key indicators from before and after Googlemap’s addition into the header of my blog for the New Zealand blog.
The effects highlighted on the scan.
The main indicators are Time and length of session, also, depth of session, all of which are showing good increases.
The main entry point for the site is the Netherlands blog. From Amsterdam, mostly, it’s popularity stemming from the drugs and sex references in blogs and pictures such as the sex museum and the Hash museum etc.
Also another popular entry point was the Nessie blog complete with picture of Nessie which used to come up 1 or two on googleimages.
Considering the header is only present on the main blog, and I have these blogs, and another 3 blog main pages on this site for which it is not included, these stats have further to go..
TOny Blair needs to take a hard-line with Iran on the hostage taking crisis.
If Islamic states are allowed to see it’s easy to take Western hostages then they will all follow suit.
To enter into any dialogue with Iran is simply giving credulity to a criminal act.
We need to come down and come down hard.
New GeoBlog Unleashes the Use of GPS, the Potential Future for Travel Blogs
Michael Tyler employs the use of GPS is his newly launched blog, https://www.michaeltyler.co.uk/. Geoblogging may well be the wave of the future for travel blogs.
Location (PRWeb) March __, 2007 – A new kind of travel blog, dubbed the GeoBlog, has been launched by creator Michael Tyler. The GeoBlog, at https://www.michaeltyler.co.uk/, harnesses the use of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to direct viewers to exact geographical locations. This interactive element is a real leap forward in developing and maintaining all important user interest, a factor that’s difficult to attract in the overcrowded, increasingly generic blogosphere.
“In the UK these days, it seems everyone has GPS in their car, hand-held, or mounted on their bike or wristwatch,” says Michael Tyler. “It occurred to me why not use GPS for a travel blog.”
Having exact GPS locations, times, dates and altitudes has given rise to the ideal platform for passing on more detailed, more accurate and more precise information — and nowhere is this new clarity of communication more evident and necessary than in the ever-expanding realm of travel.
Michael Tyler employs this new application is his travel blog, dubbed GeoBlog, https://www.michaeltyler.co.uk/. The GeoBlog lets visitors know exactly where specific tourism features are, as well as dining and accommodation locations. Some of the great random views and general wildlife spotting opportunities are to be found in the first GeoBlog series on New Zealand.
Michael Tyler explains, “Relaying information through an easy-to-use, interactive interface has increased the session lengths of visitors by 300 percent. Since the Google Map mod was added to the header, visit times have gone up from an average of 20 seconds to over 3 minutes. Some visitors stay on the site for hours, browsing through all the pictures from the various places I’ve visited. The technology is out there; with sites like GPS Visualizer, Google Maps and Yahoo’s Flickr and with digital cameras and mobile phones with cameras, plus Google’s recent announcement of the inclusion of GeoRSS standard feeds, anyone can log, create simple maps let visitors know what they’ve being doing and where they’ve been doing it.”
