Google Maps Street View Philippines Satellite
Laverne Levenstein
How can I use Google Maps and Google Street View Map in SAS Visual Investigator. I already have the latitude and longitude data. It works on the default open street view map but I want to use Google Maps and Google Street View Maps. I tried to change the Base Maps' default but I don't know how to use google maps instead. I searched in the net for any guide but I cannot find anything. Thank you.
Do you have the Geo Map custom control available through Manage Investigate and Search > Code Editor? Solution Extensions are listed along the left hand side of the screen. If it's available, you can use the links in the previous post depending on the overlay you want to use. If not, I can share the code and walk you through the steps on how to add it to your system. Do you have access to the internal postgres database?
I'm trying to access a company own ESRI ArcGIS server but, it seems not to work:
This config is not working...
Did you have any suggestions? Google and Open Street map are working in the environment...
Baidu Maps is available only in the Chinese language and, before 2016, it offered only maps of mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, with the rest of the world appearing unexplored.[2] Currently, Baidu Maps also offers maps of various other countries.[citation needed] It was reported that more than 150 countries would be supported by the end of 2016.[3] Baidu uses map data supplied by NavInfo, MapKing, Here, LocalKing and OpenStreetMap.[4]
In 2010, Baidu added a detailed three-dimensional view for select cities, which has been described as being SimCity-like.[7] The feature is licensed from the digital mapping service Edushi.[8] Cities covered include Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. In November 2011, Baidu launched satellite imagery for the Greater China region with better resolution than Google Maps[9] City-level only includes Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Macao and other major cities.
Baidu Maps uses a variant of web Mercator projection for slicing map data into tiles, with distances expressed in degrees. It is associated with an underlying latitude-longitude reference. The reference uses the BD-09 coordinate system, which adds further obfuscation to the already obscure national standard in China, GCJ-02[11] (which in turn is defined in terms of the de facto standard around the world, WGS 84). Baidu alleges that adopting BD-09 "protects users' privacy".[12]
The Baidu Maps API documentation specifies that "real" (WGS 84) GPS coordinates must be converted via a coordinate conversion interface.[13] An HTTP interface, JavaScript API, Android SDK, and iOS SDK are available.
The JavaScript coordinate conversion API is demonstrated online by Baidu, but without any reverse (to GCJ-02) conversion capabilities.[14] Open source implementations in R[15] and various other languages[16] exist, implemented in a manner much like the reverse GCJ-02 algorithm.
In June 2020, the Indian Government blocked Baidu Maps as well as 58 other Chinese apps, citing national security concerns[18][19] during the clashes between the People's Liberation Army Ground Force and the Indian Army in the Galwan Valley.[20]
Curious to know the exact date when Google cameras captured those aerial and street view photographs of your home (or any other address) on our beautiful planet? Well, you can find the dates easily both in Google Maps and Google Earth.
Launch the Google Earth app on your desktop, search for any location in the sidebar and, this is important, zoom in an area as much as possible. Now hover your mouse over the map and you should see the capture date of that satellite image in the status bar as seen in the above screenshot.
If you happen to live in a country where Google Street View is available, you can use the Google Maps website itself to determine the date when Google Street Views cars were in your area capturing pictures of the neighbourhood.
Insider reached out to Google to ask how often they update five major Google Maps features: Street View, satellite images, street names and routes, business names and information, and traffic and road closures.
There's one general rule to Google Maps' updates: Places where more people live get updated more often. In a Maps 101 blog, Google Maps' Technical Program Manager Matt Manolides says that "Overall [their] goal is to keep densely populated places refreshed on a regular basis."
Although it's not heavily advertised, the Street View team actually keeps a public list of places they plan to visit in dozens of countries across the world. You can find that list in the Where we're headed section of this webpage.
These pictures are taken by both satellites and airplanes flying overhead, and are then "stitched together" to make maps. This process takes a massive amount of time and work from humans and machines alike.
Like with Street View, Google prioritizes updating "the places that are changing the most," says Manolides. This means that big cities should see updates every year, medium-sized cities every two years, and it could take three years or longer for more obscure areas.
Occasionally, Google will release new satellite imagery ahead of schedule to mark special occasions. For example, they uploaded new photos of London right at the start of the London 2012 Summer Olympics that showed off the new arenas.
Google Maps is built to show you all the streets nearby and give accurate directions from one place to another. But with thousands of cities across the world and even more roads, making sure everything stays up-to-date is a big job.
Google receives data about streets and roads from a variety of sources. These are mostly government agencies like the United States Geological Survey. But they also accept data from local governments, housing developers, and more. When they visit cities to take pictures, the Street View team also makes note of when real life doesn't match what they have on the map.
This means there's not an easy way to predict when streets and roads will be updated. If these third-party agencies are on top of things, new roads and street names should appear quickly. But it's largely up to them to report the changes to Google.
Google will review your submission and compare it to their data. If they find that you're right, they'll change it on Google Maps. They take submissions from anyone, but they prioritize reports from Local Guides.
Unlike other pieces of data, Google rarely updates this information themselves. Instead, they rely on the businesses to upload their own information. If you're the owner of a new business or location, you should sign up for a Google Business account and give them your information to put on the map.
But like with street names and routes, any user can report an error. When you find a business with the wrong information, click or tap the Suggest an edit button to submit the right info. Google will review it and update the map if you're right.
Whenever you have Google Maps (or Waze, another Google navigation app) open, unless you've specifically disabled the feature, you're sending anonymous location data to Google. The more people with Google Maps open in one place, the busier Google knows it is.
There are many, many weird things seen on Google Earth. The service, which was launched in 2005, compiles images from various sources, from satellites in geosynchronous orbit that snap low-resolution photos from tens of thousands of miles above Earth, to satellites closer to Earth that capture higher-resolution shots, and even aerial photos taken from airplanes, kites, drones and even balloons.
Scientists discovered more than 50 geoglyphs across northern Kazakhstan in Central Asia, including this swastika-shaped design. Though the swastika symbol was created from timber, many of the geoglyphs were made of earthen mounds. The geoglyphs seem to date back 2,000 years. At the time, swastikas were not uncommon across Europe and Asia and were not of course affiliated with any political beliefs. [Read more about the swastika geoglyphs and other Kazakhstan designs]
This Google Earth image is an eye-full and a mouthful, as it's an island-in-a-lake-on-an-island-in-a-lake-on-an-island. Yes, Google Earth captured this image showing a tiny island that resides inside a crater lake on an island called Volcano Island in a lake called Taal lake on the Philippine island of Luzon. For years apparently, this phenomenon was thought to be the largest of its kind spied by Google Earth. However, it turns out that accolade goes to a 4-acre spit of land in northern Canada where no human has likely stepped foot.
Google Earth has spied some old artistry etched into the surface of the planet, including wheel-shaped geometric structures that may date back some 8,500 years, making them older than Peru's geoglyphs called Nazca Lines. Some of these spoked designs that dot Jordan's Azraq Oasis seem to be positioned in a way that aligns with sunrise on the winter solstice. A team of scientists with the Aerial Photographic Archive for Archaeology in the Middle East (APAAME) have been investigating wheel structures (also called "works of the old men") with satellite imagery available through Google Earth.
The wheels vary in their design, with some showing spokes that radiate from the center, others with just one or two bars rather than spokes and still others not circular at all and instead shaped like squares, rectangles or triangles, the researchers have found.
One type of these "wheels" in the Middle East looks like a bull's-eye, with three triangles pointing toward the eye and small piles of stones leading from the triangles toward the bull's-eye wheel. David Kennedy, of the University of Western Australia, who co-directs the project, calls it "a central bull's-eye tomb with, in this case, three triangles each with at least a part of a connecting line of stone heaps running to the center."
This image from Google Earth shows an anomaly that some believe could be an unexcavated pyramid. Dozens of anomalies in Egypt have been detected using Google Earth in the past five years; however, there is a debate as to whether they represent natural features or artificial structures. More excavations are needed, but the security and economic situation in Egypt has limited the number and size of excavations.
