Google Geonews: Google Using Their Basemaps for 10 More Countries, More on Costa Rica and Nicaragua Boundary, Spatial Queries in Fusion Tables, and much more

Here's recent Google-related geonews.

From the official sources:

• Google changed its basemap data for ten countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Liechtenstein, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa and Switzerland. Google already switched to their own data for the U.S. and Canada in the not so distant past.
• Following a previous entry Costa Rica and Nicaragua boundary in Google Maps, Google Lat Long and Ogle Earth discuss the matter
• Google Maps tiles have been significantly updated for Japan
• There's contest for SketchUp 3D modelers
• You can now perform spatial queries in Fusion Tables

From other sources:

• An entry on using SketchUp to model interiors
• An excellent flight simulator for Google Earth
• Here's an entry on the state of the Berlin Wall, as seen using the Google Earth Plugin
• An online tool for Satellite Tracks And Visibility In Google Maps
• We mentioned BatchGeo a few times in the past, via APB I learned that BatchGeo was forced to disable extracting geocoded coordinates because it's a violation of Google's Terms of Service. We rarely saw similar enforcements as far as I can remember.
