Map roundup
Quick collection of links relevant to the recent release of Google! Maps! BETA!!
The maps:
- Google Maps
- map.search.ch (DHTML map of Switzerland)
- Map24 (Java map)
The commentary and analysis:
- as simple as possible, but no simpler (detailed analysis from an Atlanta developer)
- Simon Williamson's Blog (short review of the technolgies that Google uses)
Needless to say, Google's solution is elegant and standards compliant. Beautiful. I'm angry at Opera for not supporting the XSLT technology required by the site. I'm getting (slightly) tempted to switch to Firefox.
Complaints about Google's use of JavaScript:
- Taste for the Web (JavaScript is a hack that can be avoided in most designs)
- Ars Technica (use of JavaScript excludes certain browsers)
Some hacks via SourceForge.
