I was just checking out the new webcam feature on Google Maps. This seems awesome. You can really get a level of detail about a place that you just couldn’t before. It would be really cool if the would mix this with something similar to Microsoft’s Seadragon software and synthisize photos in three dimensions too. I’m sure that’s coming down the pipe. Anyways, check out the image to the right or check it out yourself. You don’t actually see video on the map (because I’m sure it would be a bandwidth hog), but it links to the cam and shows the last cached image from the cam.
Just go to Google Maps and look up a location. Make sure you click “More” and select the checkbox for Webcams. Do you have a webcam on Google Maps yet? Post a link in the comments.
What do you think they’ll add to their maps feature next?
