Google Ocean

Google Ocean is latest speculated release from Google. Reports show that this will have tons of data from the oceans including weather, currents, and tide information. Speculation shows this will probably be part of Google Earth's next release, but Google may also put this inside of the browser as they did with Google Sky.

Google Analytics and MeasureMap

Yesterday, some individuals received emails from Google about their MeasureMap accounts. We should soon see an integration with Google Analytics. MeasureMap seems to have gone by the wayside since Google bought them out a while ago. Google wants to bring the early MeasureMap users back into the picture by adding the features for blogs back into Google Analytics. We will see in the near future what Google holds in store.

Google Street View Directions

Google added directions with Street View today. This finally puts a purpose to the Street View pictures they have been taking for the last year or so. Visting Google Maps, searching for directions, and clicking on the camera next to each of the directions will bring up a popup with the street view of your point on the map. Clicking on the arrows inside the popup, you can follow your intended route as long as there is Street View imaging available in that area.
