Location queries in Google
I didn’t know this before, but Google provides Location-Queries. So a query like ‘Restaurants 4 km around Madrid‘ results in a nice list of restaurants 4 km around Madrid. Nice. :)
“think XML, but smaller, faster, and simpler”
Protocol buffers are Google’s language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data – think XML, but smaller, faster, and simpler. You define how you want your data to be structured once, then you can use special generated source code to easily write and read your structured data to and from a variety of data streams and using a variety of languages – Java, C++, or Python.

Didn’t know, that Google has it’s own URL shortener
Google URL Shortener at goo.gl is a service that takes long URLs and squeezes them into fewer characters to make a link that is easier to share, tweet, or email to friends. The core goals of this service are:
- Stability – ensuring that the service has very good uptime
- Security – protecting users from malware and phishing pages
- Speed – fast resolution of short URLs
Google URL Shortener is currently available for Google products and not for broader consumer use.
Setting Zoom level in Google Maps v3 after fitBounds()
I just had the problem that I added multiple markers to a v3 Google Map and executed fitBounds to see them all at ones. But the zoom level was much to high, when having only one marker. Calling the setZoom() method afterwards didn’t make any difference, so I searched a little bit and found this nice snippet of code:
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'zoom_changed', function() {
zoomChangeBoundsListener = google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'bounds_changed', function(event) {
if (this.getZoom() > 10) // Change max/min zoom here
this.setZoom(10);
google.maps.event.removeListener(zoomChangeBoundsListener);
});
});
