Links: Burj Dubai, Historical Imagery Updates, Updated EveryTrail App

Burj Dubai: The tallest building in the world, the Burj Dubai Khalifa (Update: renamed after opening), opened to the public yesterday. At over 800 meters tall, it is by far the tallest building on the planet. You can view it in Google Earth (KML) or view it here using the Google Earth Plug-in.

Historical Imagery Update Information: As pointed out by Stefan at Ogle Earth, Google's Imagery Update KML now includes information about previous updates as well.

EveryTrail Update: We've talked about EveryTrail a few times in the past (GE5 tour support, updated layer, etc), as it's a very slick GPS-oriented trip-sharing service. They've just released version 3 of their iPhone app, which has some great additions such as the ability to follow trips on an interactive map, see your current route being drawn on the map, and a lot of sharing capabilities with Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Here's a brief video showing off the new app:

Links: Audi A8 with Google Earth, Liquid Galaxy, Deer Hunting, StreetView in the snow

Audi A8 with Google Earth: The new Audi A8 comes with a lot of neat toys, including integrated Google Earth! The car connects to the internet via 3G, which it uses for a variety of purposes. It pushes the 3G out via wifi for anyone in the car that needs it (similar to the Verizon MiFi), and it also streams Google Earth imagery to the navigation system.

Detailed information about the Google Earth integration is lacking, but you can see it in action for a just a few seconds in the video below (skip ahead to the 7:24 mark). It shows 3D buildings (some photorealistic, some gray), just like you'd see in Google Earth.

Liquid Galaxy: At Google I/O earlier this year, they showed off a cool thing they called the "Holodeck" -- a 360 degree booth that surrounds you with StreetView imagery. They've now renamed it "Liquid Galaxy" and integrated a special version of Google Earth to work with it. They've brought it to the COP15 conference in Copenhagen, and they'll be bringing it to other conferences in the future. I hope to maybe try it out at Where 2.0 this spring.

Deer Hunting with Google Earth: A man in Illinois shot a 25-point buck after studying Google Earth to determine probable routes that the deer would take. He staked out his position based on that information and was able to get his shot just before dusk. It turned out to be a lucky shot (deflected off a tree branch, pierced the deer's ear, which then fell down a bank into the creek and drowned), but it's interesting that he used Google Earth to find the best location.

StreetView in the snow: A few days ago, in preparation for the 2010 Winter Olympics, Google hit the slopes in Vancouver and captured some StreetView imagery using a snowmobile outfitted with their cameras.

I would have to guess that the development of the StreetView trikes helped make this possible, as it was likely a similar system.

No word on a release date for this imagery, but the Olympics begin on February 12, so I'm sure we'll see it sometime before then.

Links: Load KMZ files on handheld Garmin devices, video of NASA rocket crashing into the moon

Garmin has quietly released a pretty cool beta update for some of their devices; the Colorado, Oregon and Dakota, specifically. This update allows users to create image overlays in Google Earth, then load the resulting KMZ file on their device. Once loaded, the overlay will simply appear as part of the map when they view that area.

The instructions are pretty straightforward for anyone that has built an image overlay before. Simply build the overlay, save it your PC, and upload it to your device. It looks quite slick. Hopefully more devices and services will start supporting the KML/KMZ format, making the datasets in Google Earth even more useful.

Rich and Scott have both posted blog entries with tips on doing this with your Garmin. Rich covers some best practices for creating these maps to keep redraws to a minimum, while Scott gives a step-by-step walkthrough, along with a resolution chart to keep things looking sharp on your device. (via SlashGeo)

Also today, as you may have heard, NASA intentionally crashed a segment of a rocket into the moon to study the impact. Keir has built a simple page that lets you browse the moon, the Cabeus Crater where the impact occured, and view a video of the impact as an overlay on top of the moon.

You can read more about the mission on the NASA website, or view the video below for a raw look at the impact:

New Google Earth Imagery - July 2009 - Good and Bad Part 2

Google has made yet another weekend update to the Google Earth imagery. I'm expecting a lot of GEB readers will start reporting new imagery they find during the weekend. Please leave a comment here if you find new imagery - which you can confirm by clicking on the "View in Google Maps" for a close-zoomed level, since Google Maps imagery does not yet have the update [UPDATE: Google Maps now has the new imagery, so you can't confirm now.]. For this update, there are some significant changes which I immediately noticed - some really good news, and some bad. Comments on the significant changes will appear below the list of new imagery noticed. By the way, I immediately noticed the new Spot Image imagery for Oman and Yemen.

New and updated imagery:

• Oman - Medium resolution Spot Image.

• Yemen - Medium resolution Spot Image.

• Guadaloupe - Not sure if this is new this month, but Isle des Saintes in Guadaloupe now has 3D terrain (previously the islands were flat).

• Romania - Constanţa (Thanks 'twist3r')

• Sri Lanka - Kataragama Peak (Thanks Martin)

• France - Largentiere (Ardeche) (Thanks Maarten), Departments of Aisne, Ardennes, Eure, Eure-et-Loire, Lot-et-Garonne, Ariege, Haute-Garonne, Ardeche, Alpes-Maritime, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Ain, Rhone, Allier, Doubs (Thanks Andreas)

• Bulgaria - Entire country - Medium resolution Spot Image (Thanks Thilo)

• Greece - "Lots of areas" have new high res (Thanks 'psx') - confirmed in Larissa, Kythira, Kamari

• Niger - Dirkou (thanks 'ACarvalho')

• Bulgaria, Albania, Macedonia - new medium Spot Image (Thanks Neli)

• Poland - Ciechanów (southern part), Kołobrzeg, Łask (winter photo) - Thanks 'm_k'

• India - Bina, Madhya Pradesh - (Thanks 'Alok P.')

• Republic of Congo - Loubomo (Thanks ACarvalho)

• Spain - Ferrol, Monte Coya (Thanks Vranton)

• USA - Southwestern States colorization removed (see below); Contra Costa County, CA has new high res (Thanks Munden); Niagara Falls has been ruined with low resolution imagery! (Thanks Munden);

• Chile - Castro and Chilo´e; Island hi-res (Thanks JP)

• Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq - these countries has been color processed to look consistent (Thanks Munden, Steven)

• Libya - Some new Geoeye (May) just south of Sert (Thanks Munden)

• Saudi Arabia - Riyadh got some GeoEye (Thanks Munden)

• Canary Islands - Grand Canaria - new high res (thanks Ben)

• Faroe Islands - New high res terrain (thanks Frank)

• Maldives - Kudahuvadhoo (thanks Alsay)

• Ghana - Tumu (Thanks Trevor)

• Philippines - El Nido (thanks Eugene)

• Mexico - Acapulco (thanks Mcmaster_de)

• Egypt - Alexandria (thanks Mcmaster_de)

First, I'm very pleased because Google has removed some of the bad coloration they introduced to the southwestern US imagery back in early June. Many people complained (see the comments) about the way the new colorization process actually destroyed color information and made places in the southwest (which are normally desert brown), have a green cast on them. Thank you Google for listening!

Second, Google has introduced a new "coastline-cutting" tool to make the edges of the imagery conform to the shape of the coastlines. This is a pretty significant move as it effects imagery all over the planet. And, I have mixed feelings about this decision. On the one hand, it does make the land verses sea/bathymetry distinction more clear and pleasing to the eye. I'm impressed with how accurately the "cutting" has been done (so far, I haven't checked everywhere yet :-) ). The previous technique has always showed aerial or satellite imagery rectangles as a patchwork of irregular shapes along the coastlines. Which did in fact make it a bit harder to distinguish land from water.

However, imagery of the areas of ports, bays, harbors, shallow waters (especially in the Bahamas), etc. have now been cut out in favor of the bathymetry. The base level imagery of Google Earth (and Google Maps after this update migrates there), will now have lost some very valuable information. The former technique formerly showed ships, aircraft flying in the area, water conditions, sub-sea surface conditions (shipwrecks, coral reefs, sea life, oil rigs, buoys, dive sites, and (very importantly to the boating world) anchorage sites. The new technique has in one fell swoop reduced availability of a great deal of valuable information to the boating world, marine biologists, economists, shipping industry, oil industry, coast guards, and more. (Oh, I should mention those of us who look for planes in flight have also lost many planes found over water). In Google Earth, you can still turn to the historical imagery mode and see imagery without the coastline cutting. So, all is not lost. But, you can't turn on historical imagery (currently) with Google Maps. And, many people won't realize the historical imagery will show the "missing" information. Let's just hope Google doesn't start cutting the imagery they get before they put it in the historical imagery database! [Update Oops, I've already found evidence of coastline cutting happening in the historical imagery!]

Another footnote: In most cases, anchorages are near the shore - so hopefully the new coastline cutting will not eliminate most anchorages from the imagery. But, passages across bays and harbors between anchorages may now only show the bathymetry instead of the imagery. A sense of ship traffic, and what the water looks like will only be available (maybe) in the historical imagery. UPDATE: Another positive note - the coast cutting does not appear to cut out the imagery for the lagoons for atolls I found in the Tuamotus. Just the outside of the coasts. That's good!

What I can't understand is why Google is trying so hard to balance making the planet look good in the "base" imagery layer of Google Earth at the risk of losing valuable information. While at the same time, they have built-in features that could easily give the users the best of both worlds. There's a feature in KML that lets you fade-in/out different overlays of imagery based on zoom levels. So, with Google Earth it is possible to present a very nice looking earth while at the same time presenting as much imagery as possible. In Google Maps, they already present a different view until you zoom in close. Plus Google can easily add options to load a different tile-set just like they already do between say "Satellite" vs. adding "Labels". How about "Full imagery", or "Historical Imagery", or "Uncut Coastline" options for Google Maps?

Links: New GE Enterprise, My Location, Fossett Crash Report, Bridge Winners

• New Google Earth Enterprise - Google has updated the Enterprise version of Google Earth to support version 5.0 features (the version designed for internal use where you can run your own custom data for the globe). The GE Enterprise version is called version 3.2. Follow the link for more details.

• My Location - Those of you with an iPhone know how useful it is to push the "blue dot" in the Maps application to find your current location. Now, if you are using the latest browsers (Firefox 3.5, or Google Chrome - which support Gears), Google Maps will have a new "dot" gadget near the zoom controls which will give you a blue dot showing your position. You have to agree to "Share Location" with Google Maps (to give it permission to search for you). My first thought was this ought to appear in Google Earth as well. It should be trivial to implement with the GE Plugin (UPDATE - Googler Roman Nurik made this GE Plugin Location example). Geo hacker Barry Hunter wrote a quick little proof of concept app where he used the browser, and Google Maps API, to generate a link to a placemark to show your position in GE using the location feature. I also suggested to Google they ought to create a feature for making it work in Google Earth (they probably had already thought of it).

• Fossett Crash Report - The NTSB has released its report on Steve Fossett's crash. As expected, the cause is believed to be air turbulence (downdrafts) which caused the plane to be unable to avoid hitting a mountain. Air turbulence in mountain areas can be sudden, and treacherous. Read the story about the location of the crash and view the terrain in the area using Google Earth.

• 3D Bridge Winners - Google has announced the winners of their build a 3D bridge contest. Watch an HD Video of the winning bridges.
