Reto Meier，来自澳大利亚的佩斯，现在在伦敦做软件开发。
昨天Google Maps完善了澳大利亚分站的功能，加入了行车路线和当地的商业列表。这个商业列表由Truelocal提供，Truelocal是新闻集团旗下的澳洲商业列表提供商。The Australia（一家新闻集团的报纸）报道说，这是Google和新闻集团合作的一部分，从去年开始Google提供的广告被显示在MySpace上。
在过去的几个月中，Google一直在稳步地增加对澳洲地图分站的支持，从卫星图到街道图和地理信息的增加，还有在澳大利亚日前一天上线的分站域 名。这次推进意味着Google Maps澳洲分站从此跟欧洲和美国分站一样提供全部的地图功能，包括对Google Maps移动版（用手机登陆www.google.com/gmm）澳洲部分的完全支持。
澳洲本地的搜索市场数年来一直被Sensis主宰，Sensis是以前被政府拥有的澳洲电信（Telstra）的搜索部门，澳洲电信在当地的电信业中处于垄断地位。Sensis提供的Whereis服务，是澳洲本地占主导地位的地图服务，还包括白页（个人）和黄页（商业）搜索。Google Maps是一个受到这个市场欢迎的生力军。
Sensis的白页和黄页服 务直到现在还处于垄断地位，而Whereis（由于轻敌或者由于它的统治地位）现在仍然停留在Web 1.0的荒野中。我预测卓越的地图产品将成为Google进军澳洲的一个切入点，由于现在使用黄/白页搜索的用户群已经使用Sensis太长时间了，所以 Google得花点时间才能对当地的搜索市场造成冲击。但是Google在移动搜索和个性化本地搜索方面的革新应该能帮助自己赢得一定的市场份额。

Somebody knows dry what this group gray on Google Maps is (the Monzelfeld that is in Germany, near Bernkastel-Kues) ?

The official gain guest of Google Maps API reports, google Maps supports GeoRSS file form now, and the Mashups that Google Maps API still allows you to give you with the form of KML adds geographical data. The Frank Taylor of guest of imperscriptible Google Earth rich casts gave a few warnings:
The KML that Google Maps can handle is finite still. It can handle picture layer, polygonal, line, with ground mark. But, can be in only size less than of limitation. If be mark of about a hundred ground,the KML file of larger perhaps volume is no good. Still have, also do not support network link. Nevertheless, google is releasing more support gradually, I wish later these confine can be broken through.
[Thank Frank! [Thank Frank!!
