Cartographer: Thematic Mapping For Google Maps

Umut M. — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 07:20:34 +0000

Thematic maps are very useful when describing statistical data about places. The data, simply, becomes much easier to understand.

Cartographer is a JavaScript library for creating thematic maps on Google Maps which supports custom styling.

It is only a one JavaScript file that relies on the powerful Raphael.js vector-graphics library.

It supports 3 visualizing types:

Chloropleth (color coded regions)
Pie charts
Point clusters

The areas on maps are mentioned as latitudes or regions (depending on the type) which means no hacking or manual calculations.

Every visualization type comes with different options like colors, opacity, stroke & more.

P.S. The library is currently on alpha state but pretty solid.

Adress Form Collection Syncronized With Maps

Umut M. — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 19:59:51 +0000

Mapeed.AddressChooser is a Javascript script for creating an address form with a twist: it displays the address mentioned in Google Maps (can be used with another map provider by creating your mapping proxy) in real-time.

The script adds a behavior on HTML form, & doesn’t generate HTML markup.

It can also be plugged on any existing forms.

You can focus the map to the user’s city/country with the IP used (if mapping provider supports).

Mapeed.AddressChooser is well documented & has a nice demo with script.aculo.us autocomplete.

Universal ActionScript 3.0 Mapping API: uMaps

Umut M. — Fri, 23 May 2008 17:00:01 +0000

uMaps is an universal ActionScript 3.0 mapping API.

This flexible API enables developers to build fully-customized solutions. The current version is integrated with OpenStreetMap and Microsoft Virtual Earth map data.

uMaps features:

Support for custom map tiles and providers
Flash / Flex versions
KML Support
FLA-Based Map Controls
Marker Manager
Advanced content layering

Using a universal API is very helpful as you can easily switch between mapping providers without updating the codes. As Google Maps API for Flash is released (see WRD post), it may be integrated into uMaps too and can make the product better.

This Flash mapping API is free for personal use and requires a license for commercial use.

Google Maps API For Flash

Umut M. — Thu, 15 May 2008 17:00:01 +0000

Google released the Google Maps API for Flash which lets Flex and Flash developers embed Google Maps in Flash applications.

The API is smooth and fast. Flash graphics can be used for each tile layer, marker and info window. This opens up possibilities like dynamic shading, shadowing, animation, and video. When the user zooms the map, magnification changes happen smoothly and place names fade in.

1 API To Rule All Maps: Mapstraction

Umut M. — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 17:00:44 +0000

The title is fun, I know (and I love Lords Of The Rings).

Mapstraction has kind of a similar logic. It provides a common API for the major mapping providers. This means, when you code with Mapstraction API, you can easily switch from Yahoo Maps to Google maps or else.

You can even use this power to create creative solutions like this syncronizing maps example:

Some features of this mapping API:

Support for 9 major mapping providers
Point, Line, Polygon support
Image overlay
GeoRSS and KML feed import
Geocoding of addresses
Driving directions

Interactive Data-Rich Web Pages With Exhibit

Umut M. — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 05:03:43 +0000

Exhibit is a three-tier web application framework written in Javascript which makes it easier to show a few hundred records of data on maps, timelines, scatter plots, interactive tables, etc., without any programming knowledge.

In order to use Exhibit, writing a simple data file, and an HTML file that specifies how the data should be shown. Data + Presentation. That’s all.

Exhibit can be used as a web service like Google Maps without installing any software or source code can be downloaded to run it on your own web servers.

Auto-Highlight Areas Of Any Map Image

kayka — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 08:10:47 +0000

Highlighting areas like countries, cities in a map image is a time consuming job.

Many alternative images need to be created for the mouse over effects & they must be linked to each other too.

Mapper.js allows you to add automatic area highlighting to image maps on your webpages (inc. export to SVG).

It works in all the major browsers – Mozilla Firefox 1.5+, Opera 9+, Safari and IE6+.
