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 /n/sources/contrib/steve/rc/gmap -Steve ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 27+ messages in thread

It just generates a gmap map or satellite image of the place you name, try http://maps.google.com to see a demo. The difference is you cannot zoom and pan the image once its loaded, on the plus side it runs natively on plan9 and it took ½ an hour to write. -Steve ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 27+ messages in thread

Yep. In fact I tried a couple different domains to get a key and tried them both there, and I looked up my lat/long to put in /lib/sky/here. How do they determine where you're coming from to see if your key matches? Do they do a reverse lookup on the IP address, or do they use something in the http transaction?
