    The Google Earth API was a free beta service, allowing users to place a version of Google Earth into web pages. The API enabled sophisticated 3D map applications to be built. [ 85 ] At its unveiling at Google's 2008 I/O developer conference, the company showcased potential applications such as a game where the player controlled a milktruck atop ...

    The MERU, or Milli Earth Rate Unit, is an angular velocity equal to 1/1000 of Earth's rotation rate. It was introduced by MIT's Instrumentation Laboratories (now Draper Labs) to measure the performance of inertial navigation systems. [79] One MERU = 7.292 115 × 10 ^ −8 radians per second [80] or about 0.2625 milliradians/hour.

    Image comparing the hectare (the small blue area at lower left) to other units. The entire yellow square is one square mile.. The hectare (/ ˈ h ɛ k t ɛər,-t ɑːr /; SI symbol: ha) is a non-SI metric unit of area equal to a square with 100-metre sides (1 hm 2), that is, 10,000 square metres (10,000 m 2), and is primarily used in the measurement of land.

    They are based on the assumption that the figure of the Earth is an oblate spheroid, and hence are more accurate than methods that assume a spherical Earth, such as great-circle distance. The first (direct) method computes the location of a point that is a given distance and azimuth (direction) from another point.

    On average, a global hectare can be produced in the area of a standard hectare. A hectare (/ ˈ h ɛ k t ɛər /; symbol ha) is a unit of area equal to 10,000 square metres (107,639 sq ft) (a square 100 metres on each side or 328 feet on each side), 2.471 acres, 0.01 square kilometers, 0.00386102 square miles, or one square hectometre (100 metres squared).
