Bing releases iPhone app with nice Maps implementation

December 16, 2009

Microsoft just released the “Bing” application for iPhone and it is a solid effort.  It was voice search that is similar to the Google app, and Maps implementation that is similar to Google Maps on the phone.
It’s a free app, so it’s certainly worth downloading and trying out.  Chris Pendleton has a nice writeup of [...]

StreetView comes to the iPhone

November 21, 2008

As we mentioned a few weeks ago, the new firmware update today for the iPhone (version 2.2) includes Google StreetView.  I’m still loading the update on my phone, but I’m expecting good things.  As with Google Earth for the iPhone, I would think that the multi-touch input will work very well with StreetView.  We’ll see.

October 26, 2008

It’s still being rolled out (Australia and Japan can get it now), and it’s not available for my area yet.  I’ll post more details once I get it.

StreetView coming to the iPhone and to Singapore

October 6, 2008

A couple of good pieces of news for StreetView fans.  Somewhat unsurprisingly, StreetView is apparently making it’s way onto the next firmware release (v2.2) for the iPhone.  Considering it’s already on Google Maps Mobile and on Android, this wasn’t a shocker.  Still, it’s nice to know it’s coming soon.
Also, CNET is reporting that Google StreetView [...]

Google Earth Hacks mobile and The Amazing Race 13

September 28, 2008

A couple of fun toys for today.  I’ve created a mobile version of Google Earth Hacks, allowing you to view about 80% of the files (18,000 or so) on the go.  It works best on the iPhone, taking advantage of the built-in Google Maps, but should work on any recent phone.  Get details here, or [...]

Google Maps Mobile gets StreetView

September 17, 2008

StreetView has come to Google Maps Mobile! This should prove to be a very useful addition, since many people use GMM when trying to find a location.  Having a street-level view of their destination will be great!
In addition to StreetView, the mobile versions now have walking directions and business reviews as well.
The software is available [...]

Earthscape for iPhone reviewed

August 22, 2008

A few months back, Google Earth Blog revealed a slick new iPhone application coming called Earthscape.  The application is a Google Earth-like program that runs on your iPhone.  It costs $9.99 in the iTunes app store (get it here).
One disappointment is that it’s not yet using the accelerometer to control movement — it’s all done [...]

3D Earth product in the iPhone

May 23, 2008

Google Earth Blog has a story about a digital earth product called Earthscape.  Earthscape is a desktop program that aims to be similar to Google Earth (and others).  It may end up being a decent product, but that’s not the point of this post.
At Where 2.0 last week, GEB author Frank Taylor was shown an [...]
