Justin O’Beirne – interesting comparisons of various Maps services
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/12/23
This is a reminder to myself to check out [WayBack] Justin O’Beirne again, as over the last years he posted various very interesting observations on the various Maps services.
Is Google Maps still years ahead of the competition? Why is that? Interesting topics that Justin covered in the past, for instance in [WayBack] Google Maps’s Moat How far ahead of Apple Maps is Google Maps?
Via:
- [WayBack] Fascinating read: How Google Maps has moved so far ahead of the competition: Justin O’Beirne is what you would call a modern cartographer. He has long believed that the future of map making has to be intertwined with technology…

Links for another crazy idea: superimpose lane availability indicators on Google Maps
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/08/29
ANWB can superimpose the lane availability indicators on their internap maps software.
Some links so I won’t forget:

- [WayBack] Jeroen Pluimers on Twitter: “Op dat plaatje krijg je spontaan de neiging om te scrollen alsof het Google maps is (: Zou trouwens wel gaaf zijn: dit als overlay over Google maps. @RWSverkeersinfo is daar een API voor?… https://t.co/rf3tgmNwWr”
- [WayBack] Rijkswaterstaat Verkeersinformatie on Twitter: “Ik stuur je even door naar mijn colelga’s bij ‘t algemene account (@rijkswaterstaat). Wij houden ons vooral bezig met files (: ^FB… https://t.co/tWa8eQQxQ8”
- [WayBack] ANWBverkeer on Twitter: “Het schijnt dat Google Maps ook wat met verkeer en floating car data doet. ;)… “
- [WayBack] Jeffrey Benning on Twitter: “Als er een API is kun je dit prima mixen met Google Maps. Meer over #floatingcardata van @GMapsPlatform tref je via https://t.co/aRWGYWyzFN… https://t.co/Bi5SqAq5LB”

When +Google Nederland maps only fills one or part of the map tiles…
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/04/18
I still have to do this every few weeks on all my desktop machines: [WayBack] When +Google Nederland maps only fills none or part of the map tiles… – Jeroen Wiert Pluimers – Google+
When +Google Nederland maps only fills none or part of the map tiles at https://maps.google.nl, but https://maps.google.com works fine, then remove any
gsScrollPoscookies from www.google.nl.I need to do this every couple of days to keep maps.google.nl working.
Later I also found it can happen for YouTube, then did more digging for gsScrollPos and found a better workaround: [WayBack] Awesome Cookie Manager where you can just delete the gsScrollPos cookies from all sites in one go.
Even later I found out that this can be one of the causes for the WayBack machine giving an error 400 when archiving. A more common reason however is that many archived web-pages try to create cookies in the web.archive.com subdomain resulting in the same problem.
The cause seems to be the Great Suspender plugin which should be fixed by now, but might not automatically update to the latest version. See:
- [WayBack] Error 400 on youtube (not alone with this issue) · Issue #537 · deanoemcke/thegreatsuspender
- [WayBack] Google Maps (and some others) fails with too many gsScrollPos · Issue #573 · deanoemcke/thegreatsuspender
Pending a new Great Suspender release, below is a quick way to manually remove them if you are into SQL scripting for sqlite. It basically comes down to executing the below statement when Chrome is closed:
delete from cookies where name like 'gsScrollPos-%'
- PowerShell script: [WayBack] jonkyops/ClearGsCookies.ps1
- Dependency: PowerShell module RamblingCookieMonster/PSSQLite
