what's the map made in, it's very clever

smallbeer · 19-05-2005, 10:41

Some XML (XMLHttpRequest) and javascript - now known collectively as Ajax. There's some VML as well as a little dude with an A to Z thrown in there too I believe.

weldo · 19-05-2005, 10:57

clever stuff...

roto · 19-05-2005, 10:58

Oh, I thought they drew the maps by hand as you went...

gray · 19-05-2005, 11:12

i wanted to say ajax, its my new buzz word

And then click directions and it draws it on the map for you as well as giving you step-by-step. Marvelous.

Streetmap.co.uk, mapquest.co.uk, multimap.co.uk - all better look out methinks!

It is made in Ajax: check out the following:

Cool stuff - Java for life. Great implications for this using flash as well. Might be how google is going to pull content our of flash for SEO in the future.

:P

rac.co.uk has done this for years slags

igor · 20-05-2005, 04:05

no, rac.co.uk hasn't done this. That's map24.com (notice the little logo in the lower left corner). You can pay them to have that service on your site. The java version of Map24 is amazing. And yes, they've done this for a while now. Check out map24.com
But Ajax is great anyway, i've seen a few more demonstrations. Check out live search at: http://www.1976design.com/blog/
You type in the search words, and as you type you already get the results.

Its what is being termed "Ajax" but its not quite accurate as that implies XML (or at least XMLHttpRequest) is being used - whilst this is one way, I believe I read somewhere that Google Maps uses the alternative hidden IFRAME technique.

nakedintruder · 20-05-2005, 07:59

I had a look at that and an XML HTTP Request demo, it works as far back as ie5, brilliant. It's probably solid though, but I'll give it a go when I get time.
