Google Maps: Points

Google Earth contains a number of errors. Most conspicuously, altitudes are often inaccurate (mostly under-measured); e.g. on Mount Everest (8,844 m) the highest point locatable on Google Earth is only 8,591 m, a shortfall of 253 m. At some points, the sea is not given a default altitude of 0 m (particularly when zoomed out to small scale), with e.g. −50 m in the Pacific Ocean just west of San Diego, or +200 m near Dubrovnik, Croatia. Conversely, the Dead Sea (altitude 417.5 m below sea level) is given as a default 0 m altitude; the same applies to other depressions including Death Valley. Some of the photographs do not abut well, leading to displacements, e.g at the west end of the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge on the Bosporus. Other photographs are taken from different angles, leading to buildings peculiarly tilted into each other (conspicuous in e.g. Manhattan just west of the Brooklyn Bridge). Some of the place name tags are ... inaccurately positioned, e.g. the red name tags for Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead are both about 2 km north of their correct positions.

JavaDocs documentation is useful for developers generating dynamic Google Maps using the event processing capabilities of the GoogleMaps JSP Taglibrary. Users will not need to override methods or subclass classes, but they will need knowledge of how the tags work programmatically so they can add points, markers, overlays and event processors on the fly.

It’s quite simple to use… just zoom in on the Google Map until you’re at the magnification level desired. You can click and drag the mouse to move the maps, then when you’ve got the map where you want it in the screen simply click on the starting point to insert a starting pin and then begin clicking along the route.
