Google Maps Mashup: News Explorer
July 15, 2007 at 1:21 am | In ajax, google maps | 9 CommentsThis is mi first Google Maps / Ajax based Mashup. It tries to “geolocate” RSS news and show them over Google Maps. Here a Screenshot:
“Live Action” here: Google Maps News Explorer
Known Issues: Sometimes you have to click “view” 2 or three times to view news over the map (It seems that there are some problems in the service that provides RSS to GeoRSS conversion)
Lessons Learned: Ajax programming can be really painful. Firebug rocks!!!
(Coming Soon: A little tutorial on “How to create your own Google Maps News Explorer”).
