Google Maps Explorer is a directory of still map captured from either Google Maps or MSN VirtualEarth. They are categorized into 9 categories: Urban, Nature, Sport, Military, Temporary, Rest & Entertainment, Culture, Landscape, and World. Anyone can submit their own image (must be captured from any of those 2 web applications mentioned above, of course) into Google Map Explorer, but must supply the address of the map on Google Map or MSN VirtualEarth, so anyone who view the image, can easily go to Google Map or MSN VirtualEarth to check the original location.

Google Map Explorer also provides a RSS feed for any category, including recent submitted image. If you like Google Map Explorer, make sure you add their feed to your RSS aggregator )

From my country, Indonesia, there are only 3 submitted place: Tambora, Krakatoa, and Lake Toba (image below).

I added two new Google Maps-related services to this blog today. One is called GVisit, and the other called MyGuestmap.

GVisit tracks visitor to your website and use the GoogleMap API to mapped the location of your visitor into the earth map. This service is free. Upon registration, you’ll be given a piece of Javascript code. You have to place it into your page (the one you want to be tracked). By using a given unique URL, you can view the map anytime you want. Remember that there’s an hour delay before the track stats updated.

MyGuestmap works just like a guestbook. But not just leaving name and message like the usual guestbook, MyGuestMap also allows visitors to show where they are by adding a pins to a map. Several sets of cute icon are available (which is used as the pin to the map).
