Google Earth Enterprise, which originally launched over ten years ago, was Google’s tool for businesses that wanted to build and host private versions of Google Earth and Google Maps for their internal geospatial applications. In 2015, the company announced that it would shut the service down in March 2017 but in what is becoming a pretty standard move for deprecated products, Google this week announced that it would open source all of the core Google Earth Enterprise (GEE) tools.
Google would probably prefer that its existing GEE users would move to its Google Cloud Platform and the Google Earth Engine, but quite a few of its existing customers never moved off GEE, despite the upcoming deprecation date. Unsurprisingly, the company used most of today’s announcement to plug its cloud-based geospatial services and to note that this new approach offers its users more flexibility and easier access to public datasets.
Could someone explain why a destination in a lat/lon format can return a disambiguation error response? Surely each location should be mapped to a single point.
I’ve raised a bug ticket (SVC-4345) to investigate this and we’ll let you know once we have an answer.
I’m facing the same issue. I’m running in this for the coordinate of several London tube/rail stations. One sample:
The destination in this case is outside of where we have geographical location in the journey planner back-end. We currently only hold Geo data for London and your destination is in Cambridge.
Expanding Geo data to outside of London (and potentially all of Great Britain) may be something that we do in the future but there is no current project to deliver that.
For locations outside of London, we can only advise that you plan on the NaPTAN level which should return the journey you desire.
I’m trying to do the search using naptan IDs but am still not getting results back. For London - Manchester, I’ve tried the following non-lat/long search terms for Manchester:
All of these search terms still return an unidentified disambiguation for the location outside of London. Could you please provide an example of how to return a national rail journey result where either the origin or destination is outside of London?
@jamesevans Any update on this? It is again coming up as an issue for a London - Edinburgh search. All national rail results are inaccessible at the moment due to the 300 error.
XTorrent is a BitTorrent OS X application that is being hailed by many as the most capable program of itâ€™s kind and one that blows past everything that came before it, regardless of platform, price or functionality. But is it really that good? We at Techgage took a look at the latest version to let you know.
Today Techgage reviews Xtorrent, the highly anticipated BitTorrent program for Mac OS X. It is written by David Watanabe, the author of several high quality OS X programs such as the critically acclaimed Acquisition, NetWire RSS and Inquisitor for Safari.
Xtorrent is all about search. Type keywords in and the results show up right in Xtorrent. One click later and you’re downloading your content. It’s ridiculously easy… and it’s only in Xtorrent.
You can browse the files and folders of a torrent before downloading and see its real-time swarm status. Easily narrow your search results using the straightforward media type and keyword filters.
Xtorrent has the svelte body of a supermodel and the brute strength of an iron man. In true Mac form, it successfully marries a high-performance and advanced download core with a truly easy to use interface. Mac users deserve nothing less.
As many already know, torrent apps, despite their popularity, have pretty much remained a little too hard for the average person to use, because it forces them to wade through torrent trackers, find their file, make sure it has enough seeders, and then lastly open the torrent downloaded file in their torrent application to enable the download. Hardly fun or exciting sounding is it?
However, XTorrent was designed to fix a lot of these problems, once and for all, which is why so many love this program despite it being such an early release. In fact, many people will swear that Xtorrent is absolutely the best, by far, of any such software on the market today regardless of platform, be it Windows, Mac or Linux. But is it true, does it deserve such accolades? Well, lets check Xtorrent out for ourselves and find out.
Also, what I really like, no… really love about Xtorrent is the stunning ‘iTune’ like interface, which is also heavily used in its sister app Acquisition, a P2P that I have enjoyed for many years. A Windows friend of mine, several years ago, tried this program out on my Mac and fell in love with it immediately. After trying in vain to download it for Windows, I had to break it to him that it was a Mac specific program, a fact that disappointed him greatly. Since this is a great program, I was eager to see how XTorrent compared with it, and, for the most, I think it compares very nicely.
Other things that I loved about XTorrent, like SvenOnTech, whom are just some of those folks that just happens to think that Xtorrent is easily the best of its kind, bar none, was that they, like myself, loved the fact that by simply “Clicking on one of the downloads it would give you detailed information such as the tracker URI, amount of seeds and leaches, as well as a graphical display of a box complete with multi-colors that indicated either the downloaded, uploaded, or remaining bits.”
Plus again, like myself, they loved that you could limit the bandwidth speed for an individual torrent and that you could either click on the download or upload meter and make changes via the drop down. Also nice was that you could also predetermine where each type of downloaded file goes, via the preferences. For example: AVI, QT, and MPG files automatically downloading to your Movies folder and, or, that your MP3 downloads would automatically go into your Music folder, and that images would go to the Pictures folder, or which ever folder you choose, etc. All very conveniently and nicely done, I might add.
SvenOnTech also reported that, “Download speeds seem to be as fast, if not faster, than other clients we’ve used on both PC and Macs.” They also stated that “…. we performed a download of Lost Episode 17 from this season in about 2 hours while CHiPs and a Lost spoiler were also downloading. Not bad for 700 MB XvID file.”
I also agree that I really love Xtorrent’s built-in search feature. It’s excellent and, as SvenOnTech states, “the best we’ve seen thus far.” I too love the way Xtorrent rates your downloads with stars, with the higher the star indicating the higher or better download rates that you will get.
As early as 2019, we could see the first phones that have diamond glasses or displays that are protected by special glass. This is reinforced with diamonds as opposed to other protective glasses. It is called Mirage Diamond Glass and is manufactured by Akhan Semiconductors.
Akhan’s CEO said that glass-reinforced diamonds are much stronger and harder than traditional protective glass. Mirage Diamond Glass is made from laboratory-made diamonds, the main plus is that it can be used in combination with other technologies such as Gorilla Glass, which is now used by most phone manufacturers.
At this time, the phone slides are very prone to fall, with “admixing” diamonds they could become more durable. Currently, the latest tests are underway before the technology is offered to manufacturers. Initially, they want to cooperate with one manufacturer and then expand their cooperation to other “players” in the phone market.
For example, it is tested that diamond protection glass will have no effect on the touchscreen. Strength tests are also performed to ensure a good life. The results are not yet available, but given that phones with this technology should appear next year, they are probably on the right track. The only problem may be in the price.
