Google earth and maps

Jeroen | November 18, 2006

I've been working hard on a couple of new
features for Playak and am looking for feedback. We now have the
possibility to add earth coordinates to any spot or river listed on
Playak and then the spot pages will automatically show links to fly to
a spot with Google Earth, and they will also show a Google Map, which
can be dragged around, zoomed etc.

To see what I'm talking about, look at the 2 examples I've made so far:

Isle de la Serre, France:
http://playak.com/article.php?sid=251

Hepatitis Waves, Denver:
http://playak.com/article.php?sid=79

Huningue, France:
http://playak.com/article.php?sid=256

(hmmm, the last 2 links don't work in IE yet, for me… only in firefox… have to correct that somehow).

To
add this sort of info for all Playak destinations will be a lot of
work, so I first want to hear from you if this is useful at all….

If yes, I will need volunteers to help with finding the exact Google coordinates of all the spots we have on Playak.

I
personally think this is a very cool feature, but who am I? Also, I
will not be able to do this without your help, so if you like it,
please volunteer…

Cheers,
Jeroen
