Google Developer Day

I was at the recent Google Developer Day at Wembley, and got a few ideas when listening to talks regarding development in Google Maps from the past six months:

Â It is now possible to integrate Google Earth as a map type of Google Maps – something they didn’t tell us enough about imho. However, it seems [...]

Maps – the Google version

This is just about the maps for now, not about stand-alone software like Google Earth.
