How to Calculate Walking Distances using Google Maps

Have you ever wondered that if you can calculate the walking distances in your neighborhood without going out of your home. You have reached this page because you might be willing to do so.

Yes its possible to measure the short distances (or walking distance) between two places and also calculate the time required to cover that distance on foot or car. You can do so by using Google maps. Google maps can be accessed through maps.google.com .

Here are the steps to measure the Distance between two locations

• Open maps.google.com
• Once the page is loaded, zoom to the location where you want to measure the distance.
• You will also see a direction dialogue box at top left corner of the page as shown below.

• Click on the direction link  in that direction dialogue box. It will expand the direction dialogue box, just like shown below.

• Now click on the location (starting point), from where you want to measure distance. Then it will appear like shown below.

• Now click on the destination point in the map. Now Google maps will check all routes and their distances (just like shown below).

• Same routes also displayed on map as shown below.

As you can see that it is one of the best ways to measure the distance through different routes and time taken to cover that distance on foot. If you want to see the satellite view of that route, then this feature is also available in google maps by using the satellite image symbol shown at the bottom left corner on the page.

I hope that this method of measuring short distances will help some of you.

How to Get Good 3G speed at places with bad 3G Network

Mobile companies are upgrading their their services from 2G to 3G to 4G. But still there are number of places where people are struggling to get good quality 3G data connection. I am one of those. But i found a stable solution to this problem and now i am using good 3G data connection, while my nearest telecom tower does not provide 3G service (it provides 2G service).

What 3G Connection Problem i faced ?

I am also using 3G data connection. I was getting good 3G connectivity but recently due to some network issue my connectivity started to switch to 2G (i.e the "E" symbol). Sometimes it goes back to 3G (i.e the "H" or "3G" symbol), but i was struggling to get quality 3G service.

Reason behind the problem

The reason behind this problem was that there was some network issue in the tower nearest to my home. Previously it was providing 3G service but now it was providing just 2G. I use to get 3G connectivity intermittently due to another 3G capable tower, which is a bit far from my home. You can understand the situation by the diagram. In this diagram, there are 2 towers around my home. 2G tower is near and 3G tower is far. But my home falls in coverage area of both of these towers, which is a positive point for me.

Solution

The solution was very simple. I just spoke to one of my friend who is expert in such issues and he gave me a quick solution. This solution works best for people like me who are using Android Smartphone. Here is the solution. You have to switch your Network Mode from "GSM/WCDMA (auto mode)" to "WCDMA only" . It means that you are going from automatic 2G/3G selection mode to permanent 3G mode. Once you switch to "WCDMA only" then either you will get 3G connectivity or no data connectivity at all.


Note: This solution won't work for you if you don't fall in the coverage area of any 3G towers. In that case if you apply this solution then there will be no data connectivity in your phone.

I hope this solution will work for most of you, especially if you are getting intermittent 3G network.

Security Predictions 2016

Since everyone's doing it, here are some of my security predictions for 2016.

• More ransomware
• More misuse of the word 'CryptoLocker' (this ransomware died somewhere in 2014)
• More malware
• More misspellings of malware ('mallware', 'maleware', etc.)
• More IoT devices (Internet of Things)
• More ransomware or other malware for IoT devices
• More database/company breaches
• More spam, phishing, etc.
• More (ATM) skimming
• More nation-state malware
• More governments spying on their citizens
• More privacy concerns
• ...

Essentially: more of the same. I also suspect 2016 the year of more nation-state malware to be discovered/uncovered. And of course more encrypting ransomware (aka 'cryptoware') as it's still a succesful recipe. As long as people pay the ransom, they will keep bringing out new & improved versions/variants.

More security predictions (and probably more explained in depth or simply better ones) can be found by performing a search with your favorite search engine.

May you have a safe, malware-free, privacy-friendly 2016!
