Google draws 25 million new building footprints in Maps, shapes up your neighborhood
Author: Margo Tipton
The fine, well labeled lines of Google Maps could show a clean format of your neighborhood, however without buildings, it looks too much like a two-dimensional spread of undeveloped tract real estate. Google’s finally filling in the spaces, laying out 25 million building impacts in cities all across the United States. Homeowners of Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Houston, Detroit and additional cities can easily now see the familiar lays out of their regional stomping ground on the services’ mobile and computer maps. Most of these buildings were algorithmically created from aerial pictures, residents could pen in their own material by using Google Map Maker to include brand-new buildings or tag their favorite regional eatery. The tweak seems minor, however it certainly makes the common map’s criss-cross of roads look more familiar. Look into the official Google Lat Long blog site below for more information.

Steve’s first forays in to music production were born from this same appreciation as a young teenager. At the time inspired by true icons of the electronic community such as BT and Hybrid, along with the classic European trance sound of the late 90s, he began to create his own music utilizing trance and breakbeat styles, whilst trying to emulate the production techniques of his heroes. This experimentation under a range of different alter egos led to music being featured in various outlets, from online compilation CDs to primetime Channel 4 in the UK. It wasn’t until many years later that the ‘Damn You Mongolians’ project was born, inspired by the boom in UK ‘bass music’ and the rise of dubstep and drum and bass.
