In this chapter, I consider how Google assembles its maps from many sources, using algorithms and, occasionally, a set of loose norms, to decide which information to foreground for which users. This process goes largely unnoticed, but glitches such as the 2016 erasure of Palestine from Google Maps can cause users to notice and question Google’s ...

Google Maps and Google Local Search
2016Google realized that location search, and mapping as an inseparable part of it, was arguably the most important and useful feature a search engine should have. Many of Google’s competitors were far ahead when “Search by Location” was launched as part of Google Labs in September 2003. However, trying to produce accurate results entirely based on scraped

ACM SIGGRAPH 2014 Talks, 2014
JavaScript is not typically associated with high performance rendering. This talk covers techniques that were used to bring the massive data set of Google Earth into a web browser using standard JavaScript and WebGL. The client has access to a 3d model of the entire world, an ever-growing data set stored in servers, and the client needs to fetch and ...

Displaying a Map with the Google Maps SDK
2020Apple’s MapKit framework isn’t the only solution for mapping applications on iOS. Other providers offer mapping and routing technologies, including Google, Mapbox, Bing Maps by Microsoft, and ESRI’s ArcGIS. In this chapter, as well as the following chapters, we are going to work with the Google Maps SDK for iOS.

Of all the mobile web development I’ve done, I’ve had the most fun working with the Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS gives you as the developer a lot of power to connect the real world to a web site or mobile app that provides a connection to your user that is far more intimate than technologies such as user preferences or personalization.

This paper revolves around a series of media art projects that present creative uses of technological errors and glitches in order to subvert the logic, processes and aesthetics of digital mapping technologies. The first scope of this paper is to frame these projects as strategies of counter-mapping adopted in response to the rise of mapping ...
