Basic Examples (3) 

Open your current location in Google Maps:

In[1]:=

See the URL opened by the previous example:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

Open satellite imagery:

In[3]:=

Scope (2)

In[4]:=

Out[4]=

In[5]:=

Out[5]=

Options (3) 

GeoServer (1) 

Specify a custom GeoServer with a StringTemplate:

In[6]:=

Out[6]=

GeoZoomLevel (2) 

With GeoServer → "GoogleEarth", GeoZoomLevel is interpreted as camera altitude in meters:

In[7]:=

Out[7]=

---

With other mapping services, values for GeoZoomLevel are approximately equivalent to those used with functions like GeoGraphics and GeoImage:

In[8]:=

Out[8]=

In[9]:=

Out[9]=

Properties and Relations (1) 

With GeoServer → "GoogleEarth", if a GeoPosition object containing height data is supplied, the height value is used as the setting for GeoZoomLevel:

In[10]:=

Out[10]=

Possible Issues (2) 

Some mapping services don’t support all map types:

In[11]:=

Out[11]=

If a GeoPosition containing multiple positions is supplied to OpenWebMap, the mean of all contained positions is taken:

In[12]:=

Out[12]=

In[13]:=

Out[13]=

In[14]:=

Out[14]=

Neat Examples (3) 

Use WebImage to retrieve a screenshot of a mapping service:

In[15]:=

Open the current view of the International Space Station in Google Earth, with the altitude of the camera set to that of the station:

In[16]:=

Out[16]=
