Google Geonews: Geometry GM API Library, Games in Google Earth, Maps in China Update, and more

Here's recent Google-related geonews.

From the official sources:

• Google offers an entry on Mission Blue, a deep look in Google Earth at how the Gulf of Mexico region is recovering from the five million gallons of oil spilled from the BP Deep Horizon Oil Spill last year


• An entry on the Geometry Google Maps API library: "provides a set of utility functions for performing distance, heading, and area calculations in a spherical geometry, such as on the surface of the Earth, and also provides functions for handling encoded polylines."

From other sources:

• Here's a month-by-month recap entry on Year 2010 in Google Earth, but I'm surprise the Google Earth Engine is missing from that list


• The GEB also offers an entry on games built on top of Google Earth, including the new GeoGames3D


• The GEB mentions a few nice 3D models efforts: the London 3D Project, Andy Dell models and Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio


• There's also a generic entry on fixing incorrect information in Google Earth


• Google is working on keeping its Maps in China


• The Ushahidi Founder Goes to Google
