This is a basic Google Maps viewer for Dashboard in its early public version, providing users with access to Google Maps in a simple and easy-to-use interface.
The Unofficial Google Maps Viewer Widget is a newly released software that provides users with a simple and efficient way to view Google Maps on their Dashboard. The software is currently in its alpha stage of development and one major bug has been identified - the content in the pop-up pin windows cannot be displayed. Despite this, the software is fully functional and users can easily drag the map after flipping to the widget's backside and back again.
Users are encouraged to provide feedback and comments as the software remains a work in progress. The developers express gratitude to mygmaps.com for their contribution to Google Map hacking. The developers plan to improve the software with additional features such as a pop-out sidebar for directions support, support for loading custom XML/XSL mapping files, and the option to enable Google's satellite maps - a feature that has already been completed.
Additionally, the developers hope to integrate Terraserver satellite mapping data into the widget to allow for better resolution, albeit with older photographs. Despite its minor bugs, the Unofficial Google Maps Viewer Widget provides users with an easy and efficient platform to view Google Maps on their Dashboard.
