Egiate is a neat way to look for colleges

As you (or your children, as the case may be) start hunting for colleges, there's a slick new tool to help you out. Egiate (as in coll-egiate) is a database of colleges in the US, with lots of slick Google Earth Plug-in use on the site.

They offer some nice tools to help you filter down to the school you want based on the type of degree offered, minimum test scores to get in, and a variety of other filters. They have data for 4800 schools, and will fly you there via the Google Earth Plug-in when you find one (it automatically defaults to Google Maps if you don't have the plug-in).

Egiate - Dartmouth College

For some campuses (such as Dartmouth, shown above), they use the plug-in to give a tour of the entire campus. When viewing a campus, try out the "Yelp" search box on the right. If you search for something like "coffee" or "wifi", the results populate on the map instantly! When making a decision about a school, little things like that can sometimes make a difference and it's a very slick implementation of it.

In addition, they have an iPhone app (with Google Map support) and an Android app due out next year. They're even looking at support for Google Wave in the near future.

It's got a few shortcomings -- you can't link directly to a school, you can't search for abbreviations ("USC", "UGA", etc), and some minor things like that. I know the development team is working hard to iron those out, and it's shaping up to be a neat project. It's a great example of how you can use the Google Earth Plug-in to showcase this kind of data.

If you need to do some college shopping, check out Egiate.

Links: Seero for sale, i-gotU GPS logger review, Best of Building Maker expands

Seero For Sale: We've talked about Seero a few times in the past. They offer live video with GPS and did some cool stuff with Where 2.0 2008. Recently, the Seero team decided to sell the site (eBay auction) and all assets so they can focus on other projects. The site would be a serious investment, with a starting bid close to $50K. A good example of Seero's capability can be seen in this Steve McQueen video.

i-gotU GPS: The folks at @trip have a nifty new GPS device to help you put your activity into Google Earth. I've been playing with it for a few days and I tend to agree with them -- it's a great little device. It's tiny, waterproof and can be used for 80 hours non-stop; quite impressive!

The only big problem I had with it is that it's not very compatible with Windows 7. My primary desktop and my primary laptop are Windows 7, and my netbook doesn't have a CD drive. That meant I had to dig out my old XP laptop and fire it up. To their credit, it worked reasonably well on there. However, they need to solve the insane Windows 7 directions as quickly as possible. As neat as the device is, having to boot Windows in a special manner each time just to use the device is a bit too much. Also, there is no Mac version of the software available; they simply recommend Windows 2000, XP or Vista.

If you have a computer that can handle it, the cost isn't too bad (under $100 for both models) and would probably be excellent if you do a lot of travel and/or hiking. I'll keep an eye on it and let you know when they finally release decent software for Windows 7 and/or Mac. In the meantime, I'd hold off on this purchase unless you have an older Windows machine with no intention of upgrading to Win 7. Here's a short sample video from their site to show what a track looks like:

Best of Building Maker: We've mentioned this collection before, but felt it was worth showing off again. With all of the Building Maker models that are arriving in Google Earth, the Best of Building Maker collection is a great way to see some of the best. None of my models have made it in there -- have yours?

Update for Google Earth 5.1 released

Google Earth 5.1 (beta) has been widely regarded as a great update, with a much faster, more responsive interface. Being a beta release, though, means it's still got a few kinks to work out. Last night, Google pushed out an update to 5.1. Presumably, this latest release fixes some of the bigger issues. See below for one we know about.

It won't auto-update to this latest release, so you'll need to go to earth.google.com and download it for yourself. Downloading it from there will get you from version 5.1.3506.3999 to 5.1.3509.4636.

Google Earth 5.1 update

Perhaps more importantly, this will also upgrade your Google Earth plugin to the latest version. Some of you had issues with Al Gore's new COP15 tour that Google released yesterday, and this latest update seems to resolve the issues.

Fresh Update to the Ocean Expeditions layer

Google has just updated the Ocean Expeditions layer in Google Earth, and they've added some great content about expeditions around the world. To access this layer, simply check the Ocean Expeditions icon inside of the Ocean folder or you can open this kml file .

Ocean Expeditions Layer in Google Earth

Once opened, a variety of ship icons will appear in the ocean. Ships with a yellow shaded background represent live or recent expeditions (such as the National Geographic expedition to Cocos Island), while ships with a blue shaded background represent expeditions older than six months (such as various expeditions by the Cousteau Society). As you zoom in, more details will appear. Also, if you select a placemark for a particular expedition, it will load tracks and other placemarks for more details on that expedition.

Hopefully you'll find the Tahina Expedition in this layer in the not too distant future. :-)

Adding Audio to Google Earth Tours

Richard Treves writes the Google Earth Design blog where he often analyzes various Google Earth content and provides critiques and suggestions with the intent to help people understand how to improve the user experience. Richard works at the School of Geography at the University of Southampton.

Richard has been exploring how to make use of the new Record Tour functionality introduced in Google Earth 5 last February. I've mentioned many times that the GE 5 Tour functionality has great potential and have written about some amazing tours produced if you have programming skills (see for example the Apollo 11 tour). However, you can develop some pretty nice tours without coding.

Check out Richard's tutorial on how to add audio to a recorded tour. As he points out, it is best to record your visualizations first, and then play it back and record your audio in synch with the playback.

Richard also has written two other "howto" articles on Tours: 1) Simple Tour; and 2) Adding elements.
