How to enable Android Device Manager on your Smartphone

It's been a week since Google introduced Android Device Manager for letting android users tracking Location of their Android Device have misplaced or lost it from the web , it allow the users to Wipe their phone data incase they don't want the theif to access their data, it also allow to ring the device in full volume overriding their any silent or vibrate setting incase it has been misplaced.

For this feature to function you need change the settings on your Android Device by enabling location services and opting to Android Device Manager option in the Security settings.
It is available for device running Android version 2.1 or above.
It seems to be available in settings once the play store is updated.

As far as the remote wipe feature is concerned you just need to use 'Erase Device' option and then you will be given a warning and after you confirm it your device will shut down and reboot into recovery and
preform a factory reset.

Note: You won't be able to track the device once you use this option since you will be not be signed to google services anymore.

Although the feature is promising it can be result in unwanted loss of data if someone gets control of your google account linked with your android smartphone so make sure not to share your password with others and enable the two way authentication on your google account.

Do let me know if you have enabled it in comments and feel free to ask any tech related questions.

Zoom in more than preset limit on Google Maps

Google Maps is used by millions of people around the world and most of us wants to get a more closer view of the object we are viewing but Google has some preset limit upto only which we can view the imagery, but using a simple trick we can get a much closer look of it in some places on the map.

First open a particular place you want to get a closer view, then Zoom in as much as it will let you
by clicking on the "+" sign.

When you have zoomed as much as you
can but not to street view (if the
location you're looking at even
has street view), look over at
the white space just to the top
left of the map....where the little
printer and chain link buttons
are.

Click on the chain "link" button.
That will show open a box with a
long URL to the map you are
looking at and another box with
some HTML code to embed.
Leave the HTML code.
Copy the long URL and paste it
into your browser's address bar,
but don't hit enter to go to that
URL yet. Instead, click to edit it
and scroll all the way to the
right. It should end with
something like "&z=22". Change
the 22 to 23 ("&z=23") and hit
enter.

If Google Maps has
imagery at that higher zoom
level it show up.
It doesn't work for all locations,
however.

We can view some high-res images from them
not available to us by default.
