Google Maps

Google, Tech, UI / UX Add comments

I thought that this Swiss JavaScript/dHTML mapping app was pretty cool.

Now Google has their own beta Google Maps.

I love the details here. Check out the shading that gets placed on the underlying map (from search results).

I hope they also support keyhole style zooming (which map.search.ch has). There is something fun about starting from a high level and zooming into an area ;)

One interesting UI choice is the ‘Example Searches’ on the right hand side. Where there are two text boxes (with their own ’search’ button), I naturally felt like typing in:

[address]
[city, state, zip]

and it took me a second to realize that they are seperate from eachother.

    Yes. Google has definitely made certain improvements in searching. I like the way you can search the driving direction by just specifying “FROM_ADDRESS to TO_ADDRESS” in just one text box! But one point to highlight.. the Swiss http://map.search.ch DOES NOT USE any components from *Keyhole* company acquired by Google. It so happens that the frame name is called “keyhole” :-)

    The point of my post “Google is a COPYCAT!” is to compare Google to what Microsoft was 20 years ago.
