The MapOfStrange website is
The MapOfStrange website is a way of recording strange, wacky, weird and wonderful anomalies, sights and oddities from Google Maps and Google Earth. If you have found something a bit unusual or interesting, we would like to know. Whether someone has written something in a corn field, or there is an aeroplane flying over rural England, it doesn't matter - we just want to see it. Just find the place in our map, click on the map where the strange or interesting thing you've found is, and tell us about it!
Streetview
The Google Maps streetview has recently been added into the Google Maps API. This is great - it allows you to view street-level shots in various cities around the US. We've put together a lightweight interface to this on the site. It's very much a 'beta version' at the moment, but it does have some decent functionality, and this will be improving all the time over the next few months.
The backlog is cleared!
The site is now up-to-date, and as such new submissions have been reinstated. A backlog of nearly 5,000 records had built up and it was just too much to cope with, but we've whittled these down to the best. And in the meantime, we've reinstated the ratings system - click on the tick to show that you like it, and the cross to show that you don't like it

Google Earth API Plugin
Anybody tried hooking into the new Google Earth API Plugin yet?
I had a quick try by modifying this Google Maps plugin but all I managed was a message saying
The Google Earth Plugin does not yet support this
browser.
Supported browsers currently include Firefox 2.x, IE6,
and IE7, all only on Windows.
Now I had just installed Firefox 3.0 so I uninstalled it and re-installed Firefox 2.0 but I still received the same message.
Many thanks for any advice/help.
My PC is a DELL 490 running WINXP SP3. NVIDIA 8600GT Graphics Card.
No API key required?
The subject says it all...
Was having a look at the HTM source and noticed that there's no API key specified.
Had a look on the Google Maps API Google Group and found no mention of DivX Connected.
Is there no need for a Google Maps API key?
Does the DivX Connected server run as localhost therefore no key required?
Martin.
You got it...
Yep, it's a localhost thing ;-)
File name?
Sorry, I'm being particularly thick today, but which file are we referring to in respect of the "Default Center and Zoom"? Thanks.
You're not dense... It's different now
It doesn't look like you can change the default zoom for the 1.2 ZPI version of this plug-in, because that portion of the plug-in is now hosted on a remote server. If you want a version of the plug-in that you can modify (as per the older instructions), you can install this one. Note, you'll probably want to delete the ZPI version you installed by removing it from Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\DivX\DivX Connected\framework\plugins
The EXE version of the plug-in I just posted gets installed in C:\Program Files\DivX\DivX Connected\Bin\DivX Connected\framework\plugins
You'll need to edit gmap\gmap.htm with your lat/long information.
THANK YOU

Google Maps
Hi There,
Thanks for this, its brilliant.
I couldnt figure out how to close the plugin and return to the main menu though?
Cheers happy New Year!

Exit Google Maps
You should be able to hit either the BACK button or the HOME key to leave the Google Maps plugin. Let us know if this doesn't work for you.
Default Center and Zoom
Another tip, at about about line 27, you can edit the starting Lat/Long:
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(38.203655,-97.734375), 4);The value 38.203655,-97.734375 is the default location and 4 is the default zoom, which can be a value up to 25, depending on whether that imagery is available for that location.
To get your Lat/Long, go to Google maps from your PC, and click on "Link to Page" at the upper right; inside that link, you should be able to find the Lat/Long string of the location you're viewing. For example:
h t t p: //maps.google.com/maps?...=las+vegas&ie=UTF8&ll=36.173911,-115.157318...
Sweet, i just saw this on

New Terrain view!
Here's how you add the new terrain overlay. Add this at about line 114...
/*! 5 key */
case 53:
map.setMapType(G_PHYSICAL_MAP);
break;
