Google Geonews: Historical Imagery and WWII, Comet Hartley, Google Going Postal, and more

Recent Google-related geonews that weren't shared yet.

  • The official blog offers an entry named more transparency and control over location, in short: "Today we’re moving your location setting to the left-hand panel of the results page to make it easier for you to see and control your preferences."
  • The official Google LatLong blog has an entry on historical imagery: "There are history books, movies, and photographs, but they portray isolated places and events more than the connected whole. So we’ve addressed this by launching historical imagery in Google Earth in a number of new areas, including London in 1945, in coordination with archivists in these countries."
  • The last official entry is on a similar topic, Main Streets using Google SketchUp for Historic Preservation
