Subject: [9fans] new toy - gmap
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 00:05:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8390b960ade4ccf5fffa6b3b9ea3cbe6@quintile.net> (raw)

New toy, a google maps client in a few lines of script - thanks to them
rather than plan9.

With no args it looks in /lib/sky/here and displays where you are, with
some args describing a place on the planet it tries to show you the local
roads.

It should really have a GUI that lets you zoom and pan and select road, aerial
or hybrid maps but that will wait for another day.

You will need to sign up for a google maps key, though this is free and no
significant demographics are required.

I find it useful, YMMV
