]]> Comment on Google Map Scale per zoom level… by Martin http://laudontech.com/GISBlog/?p=28&cpage=1#comment-219 Martin Thu, 08 Jul 2010 10:37:00 +0000 http://laudontech.com/GISBlog/?p=28#comment-219 @zroq: The difference in scale is not a bug. Google Maps uses a map projection similar to the Mercator projection. This means that the closer you get to the poles, the larger everything becomes. There's no helping it if you have to project a sphere onto a plane. To test this, simply zoom out a bit and drag north or south, and you will see the scale change dynamically. @zroq: The difference in scale is not a bug.

Answer: Possibly. I would have to research this. RE: Does google provide a way to rotate the map so your floorplan would be right side up? Answer: Yes. The demo site was created from existing floor plans designed specifically for the Oracle Openworld conference. I could of used those floor plans and orientated the same way as the original pdf. I chose to reference them in line with the buildings to add emphasis on the power of using actual maps to locate features.
