NYsee: A Google Map Mix of Streaming Traffic Cams!

Yesterday I posted about a Google type program to locage registed sex offenders: MapSexOffenders.com . Today I bring you another marvel of technology this time from Alkemis. This is a kick a$$ program which gives you updated traffic reports for NYC and vicinity using the Google Maps (with hybrid option) with web cams. Now, let yourself go and imagine this program going country-wide- Sweet!

Bring some great visuals to geography by utilizing the Google maps with the hybrid option (satellite overlay) to help grasp scale, color and orientation to your own neighborhood. Hold the mouse down and drag the map to view more an another direction. This is a fabulous way to bring geography to life in the classroom! There is so much you can do with it!
