Elliott C. Back: Technology FTW!

Google Ride Finder

Posted in Google by Elliott Back on April 1st, 2005.

Google labs has a new tool they are calling Google Ride Finder. Apparently, it keeps track of real-time vehicle locations in the following areas:

Baltimore, MD
Chicago, IL
Cleveland, OH
Dallas, TX
Houston, TX
Milwaukee, WI
New York, NY
Phoenix, AZ
San Jose, CA
St. Louis, MO
Washington, DC

Clicking on a particular area gives a map that looks like this:

And, amazingly, refreshing the map movies the taxicabs around!! It’s live:

You can read more about it in the labs help or on their blog.
