Show & Tell with Google Maps

ShowMe Maps

ShowMe Maps allows users to create their own maps/directories with Google Maps and Google Street View.

Using ShowMe Maps users can can create a Google Map with a number of locations, all of which can also be viewed using Street View. The maps can contain up to four categories of map marker which can be accessed by drop-down menus.

Maps created by users all have a unique URL, as well as titles and a description field for each location. Maps can also be added to www.ShowMeWORLD.com which allows others to find and view the maps.

To create a Street View ShowMe map you just need to use locations where Google has generated Street Views. Once you have created a map there are options provided to include a link from your existing website or you are free to create custom links to your map.

Samples of existing ShowMe maps include the Town of Bridgewater, the Town of Lunenburg and Universities of Canada.

"Street view" is one thing I still can't understand, and absolutely amazes me. How the heck did Google get a street view of every street in the world (some countries blocked out)? It is not like people walked every street and took videos? I'm guessing it had to be from satellite views at different angles and then a composite of the various pictures. But to be able to make your own maps from the street view with Show an Tell is such a cool app!
