An anonymous voxel writes "www.veogeo.com is a community based Google Maps / YouTube mashup site that allows users to upload and view truly synchronized video and gps tracks. Rather than simply ‘geotagging’ your videos, VeoGeo allows you to watch your video, while knowing exactly where you were at any point. Uses include sharing trail information (mountain biking, hiking, four wheel driving), tourism applications (tourist walks, drives, boating etc), motorsport applications... It’s in early Beta at the moment to test the concept. Do you think the idea has merit? What advantages does fully synchronised video/maps give over simple geotagging? What other applications might there be?"

AnyGeo reports "Another cool tidbit today out of the Google camp is embeddable maps in your blog.. think embed a youtube video into your blog and you'll know what I mean. Google has made it way simple to now embed your custom google maps (MyMaps) into your website. Simply open a map, click the "link to this page" link (upper right), copy the code, then embed into your map! Screenshot of this is below and the actual embedded map is provided at the bottom.. way cool.. thanks Google Maps team!".

Industry: Google Earth Adds a YouTube Layer
[+]
The official Google Lat Long blog informs us they added a layer in Google Earth to show geolocated YouTube videos. This is not a surprise. From the official blog: "Now you can find YouTube videos connected to specific locations right in Google Earth. Our new browseable layer of geotagged videos works a lot like our Google Book Search layer, only it shows you the locations referenced in specific videos instead of books. Let's say you're jetting off to Paris. Before you go, you can watch the sunset filmed from the top floor of the Eiffel Tower, among other clips of popular spots in the City of Lights." Meanwhile, the GEB informs us: "Important caveat: on Windows you can view the video embedded inside the placemark description bubble (GE version 4.2+ only), but with the Mac or Linux you will have to click on a screenshot from the video and view the video in your browser instead."
