We are very proud of the great number of 41 new layers which have been launched this week AND that the Layar content has reached the “big 500” in number of layers! Moreover, country specific content is spreading thoughout the world. Last weeks we had first country specifc layers launched in Israel, Malta and South Africa. This week there are two layers layers launced especially for Singapore (Singapore Dine & MRT & LRT public transport) and also Turkey now has it’s first 2 country-dedicated layers (including a cool real estate layer with many filters: Milliyet Emlak) The 500th layer to be approved is the HiHD 無線數位轉播站, the second Taiwan specific layer.

We talked to the enthusiastic developer of the 500th layer, Kenny Kuo, from Cyclone Info. Office, who is determined to implement more layers with his Taiwanese software house. He explained about his layer and especially for our Taiwanese users & developers including answers in Chinese ;-)

About the HiHD 無線數位轉播站 layer 2008年公共電視 接受行政院新聞局「公共廣電與文化創意、數位電視發展兩年計畫」補助，協助建置國內第一個HDTV高畫質無線數位頻道— 「HiHD」，以提供台灣民眾多元的高畫質節目內容。(出處:關於HiHD介紹, 網址: http://hihd.pts.org.tw/about_hihd.php) . The Public Television Service (PTS) launch the trial HDTV channel in Taiwan. Users need an antenna in order to receive certain broadcasting stations, my layer gives them the direction to align their antenna for reference. Have a look at the site [enter lat/lon “25.034030 121.564622” and level “101” (the position is Taipei 101, the form world’s highest building), and you can get the direction], or try the layer for yourself!
