“Google Earth Town” Nanaimo Wires Self To Google Maps To Drive Tourism
How Google Earth Ate Our Town from Time Magazine highlights Nanaimo, a British Columbia town on Vancouver Island, also known as "Google Earth Town" or "the capital of Google Earth."
Nanaimo has been plotting virtually all of their town's data directly on Google Maps and Google Earth. From real-time firefighter calls on Google Maps to a wide array of Google Earth KLMs available at http://earth.nanaimo.ca/, there is no doubt in my mind why Nanaimo is dubbed the "Google Earth Town."
