Five Universities with great maps
Over the years we've shown you a variety of Universities around the world that are making great use of Google Earth and Google Maps, including 3D models at Bowling Green and Boston University, a 3D virtual campus at Northeastern, and a variety of great tools at the University of Exeter. The Google Geo Developers Blog recently took at five Universities that are making great use of geo tools, and it's a great list.
Many of the schools they show are simply using 2D maps, but they do a great job with them, such as the University of Washington, shown here:
The five featured schools are Northeastern University, the University of Washington, the University of Ottawa, the University of California - San Diego and the University of Notre Dame. Check out the full blog post for more info.
If you're a college student, how does your school stack up?

The 3d images of the buildings from the Bowling campus look unbelievable realistic. It's very fitting that universities would make use of geo tools since they should be at the forefront of the latest technology.
