Google Maps for Windows Media Center

Just when you couldn’t think of another program to add to Win MCE, someone comes up with Google Maps for Windows Media Center.

Colin Savage has hacked together a solution combining the Google Maps API and the Windows Media Center SDK to make a map surfable from your DIY PVR enable TV. Up and down buttons on the MCE remote control move you around the globe with the channel buttons zooming in for a close up. Numbers 1, 2, and 3 switch between map view, satellite view and hybrid view respectively.

Download available here. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m going to :-)

      When adjusting your calorie intake do not adjust it by more than 500 calories per day. It is also a good idea to make your initial adjustment and leave it alone for a week or two to see if the change is giving you the results that you desire.
