Want to know which country is in the worst place of emitting Greenhouse gases,just we can see it for ourself on the Google Map,which is created by U.N and Google.This map shows the emissions and changes that had taken place from  the year 1990 to the year 2006. The color Green indicates that, it is good and decrease in the emissions, and The purple color indicates that, it is bad and  there is a frequent increase in the emission.Sweden,is on the top list of the worst offenders and it has increased the emission of the Greenhouse gases over that time by 110 percent. Next member on the list is Turkey with a increase of 103 percent, and Canada with a increase of 55 percent.First,I thought that U.S would be on the top of the list but it is only at the tenth place in the list with a increase in 14 percent.I am exicited to see that Russia is far better than any other developed country.But, I am annoyed to see that Canada has become worser than U.S. The map lets us to know more about the data.We can sort the emissions by the type of industry,type of emission and which Greenhouse gas is responsible (CO2, CH4, N2O, etc), or year,just a click on a country gives us the full detail and the resposible sectors for the emission in such a high level.From 1990 to 2006, Russia had seen a decrease around 29 percent in emissions,but, if we take a look at just the end of 2006, Russia has started getting purple and it rises as a worst emitter with No.3 in the list.And as we thought before,U.S becomes the NO.1 worst emitter of Greenhouse gases in the world.I don’t know whether this application of Google is really working for finding the data’s regarding Global warming.Anyway,I am not sure of it.

Google updates are now coming very fast in surrounding locations.Google has added locations to Google Maps a few days ago,for Chrome and Firefox browsers.Now it adds location to Mobile Web on the iPhone.In your iPhone if u have the new 3.0 software go to Safari in that go to Google’s homepage,if you see below the search box a new message saying,” New! Try My Location to find restaurants, shops and bars near you!”,if u click the link,a dialogue box will appear asking,whether it is okay for you if Safari locates you using device location.If you accept,below the search box you can see a blue dot showing your location next to it.This is a very good feature as mobile Safari can access locations,which allows Google based social networking,Google Latitude which works on the device without any native app.A interesting fact about safari is that,it can run apparently in the background like any other native iPhone app. It would be more interesting if Safari  is able  access locations when it runs in the background for something like Latitude.Many peope think that such features affect their privacy concerns,but Google says that unless you explicitly opt in,Google won’t search your location.And you are always allowed to disable this feature at any circumtances.The preferances is found in the bottom of the home page.

Apple Application Store has been officially hit by Yelp?s version 2.0 of its iPhone App.The importance of Yelp?s focus on the mobile space has been reported here.The new application helps the users in reviewing business via their iPhone and enhances its existing GPS capabilities automatically. Another feature is now Yelpers can write reviews directly from their iPhone through a Twitter like ?Quick Tips? feature which allows to create 140 character tips in the updated version of the application but this feature is lacking in its original version .The iPhone application helps in accessing the tips and if the site is a popular site it will be shown in a feed using the GPS capabilities when businesses is searched by the users .Another important feature is the friend feed feature which pulls our friens activites. Yelp allows its customers to write and post reviews even when they are travelling, eating,drinking. Suppose they have any bad experience in a place, say Restaurant he can write reviews in the same place and post it and he will be a little bit cool.The Yelp Application and GPS combined help to see the reviews of buisnesses where ever they go.This is the reason why this application has become so popular than its previous version.Yelp’s overall traffic is roughly around 1 million monthly visitors.

When we start from point A, there may be many ways to point B,which is the place we have to reach,whether we are walking or driving.The Google Maps, has given us the routes which they consider it as the best till now,they also allows us to drag and drop the route for changing our path.But now Google, has added a special functionality in Google maps,which suggests us additional routes and  now we can see all the routes on the map for the purpose of comparison.Under the heading,named as “suggested routes”the other routes to the same destination can be accessed now.Like a Garmin device,this is also a very good feature for the GPS systems in car.The Garmin device had served for quite some time so that Google want to catch up,which makes a sense .The Alternative routes, are choosed by Google based on many factors such as, the distance,number of turns and travel time.Another important feature is, Google Maps finds the lowest “cost” ,based on the calculations using the above factors and based on the “costs”, it ranks the routes.But, alternate routes are not suggested by Map Quest but the site lets us to choose alternate routes by filtering directions by distance,highways and tool roads,which is similar to the functions of Google Maps.

Todaty GPS facility has been launched in smartphones and many of us are using it in which applications like Google Maps helps us to pinpoint were we are.But using a computer is a different thing, there are many plugins like Google Toolbar but most of the people don’t bother about it and do not install them. Now locations have been built in to Google Maps in the browser itself , but this depends on the browser we are using. If we use the latest version of Google Chrome or Firefox, in the left side corner of Google Maps we can see a little dot just above the street view guy. If you just click the dot you can see your exact location on the map, this feature is done using W3C Geolocation API standard powered by Google.This feature is more accurate on mobile devices,than in others as they have GPS facility in them.The location in Goolge Maps is mostly pulled from WiFi access points, if not from our IP address.If it wants services like Google Latitude to take off it needs ubiquitous location information and no matter we are on a laptop or our phone. Based on the current location Google serves us localized ads. Ofcourse,privacy is also maintained in this application as announced by Google.

As we all know Goolge Earth is one of the most powerful application for interacting with the Earth.It has also proved that it is one of the most powerful tool in the World of Web.A wonder about Google Earth is that its virtual application has helped to find the unknown mysery happened during a plane crash and it has also solved that problem,It was used by the Cops for busting out marijuana plantations in a remote areas and also allows us to explore all over the world,can explore Disney Land sitting in any part of the World.Now it has added a new feature which helps us to see buisness related information on both desktop and iPhone apps.This can be done by just adding a buisnesses layer to the Google Earth,after this whenever we start the application we can see businesses by default.Google Earth lists the buisnesses in order like grocery shop,gas station,bars, restaurants and bank further zooming will let us see more amd more buisnesses.The beauty is when we click on a icons additional informations like address. telephone number, reviews, and hours are provided.It seems that the database of local buisnesses is used by Google in Google maps.

If anyone comes and asks me an idea whether to buy a iPhone 3G s, i would safely tell him to go ahead as all the features are great including the price. iPhone now has a major media figure on internet. One of the great feature is the map viewing especially,the autofocus and the video uploads are awesome. Another great feature is the compass, you may feel in the starting that it has no sense ,but it really works when you follow the iPhones walking directions when you are in a strange city,this shows were we have headed instead of a little dot. The additional bit of information added ensures that we are not walking in a wrong way before we start our trip.It is very helful for the tourists who just pop up from the Newyork subway and webshow consulting their iPhone compass programs like Lewis and Clark in Tevas and cargo shorts. This is really a very good evolutionary upgrade.Another postive upgrade is making iPhone up to speed to share video. But the manufactures didn’t make it look exactly like 3G due to some economic reasons.Suppose, i am in a car tethered via iPhone and i have see the MacBook Air load web pages all the time i was connected,But the Wi-fi is sucking consistently. My laptop when it is connected to 3G works fast as any other laptop can do,when it comes for browsing.

A new feature in Google Maps to find out exactly what is there in a place by just clicking a place somewhere in the map just we can do it. Just choose a map and right click somewhere in the map a pop up menu appears with bunch of options in that last option is, ?what?s here?? if Google knows exactly what is there actually in that place you are pointing it gives a pop up information giving the name of say,a shop that?s is there. If google does not know it will just give the address of the place you are pointing. The example Google gives for this is, if we are seeing a zoomed out view of a particular group of islands,google’s feature helps to find the name of each island.You can also find certain points on the map by switching to satellite view but Google is saying that Street view is much better than a satellite view.This Technique is called as “Reverse Geocoding” but now it has been a part of Maps API. So this can be used in the maps as well.
