Around The Basis Inward Lxxx Days
Back inwards 2008 I used the Google globe plugin to create a quick tour of the journeying Phileas Fogg takes inwards Jules Verne's Around the World inwards Eighty Days. To my surprise turned off past times Google).
I exclusively scream my map at 1 time every bit it provides a rather neat counterpoint to a novel Esri Story Map of Jules Verne's classic tale. Comparing my map to Sebastian Drexel's novel Around the World inwards Eighty Days map serves to highlight how far interactive map platforms conduct maintain moved on inwards the final 7 years.
The close hitting evolution for me is the repose alongside which yous tin at 1 time add together vintage maps layers to an interactive map. The major map libraries all at 1 time render the selection to easily supersede base of operations map tiles alongside custom map tiles. The Google Maps API did conduct maintain this selection 7 years ago. What has changed though is the wider availability of dissimilar maps layers.
You tin thought some of the to a greater extent than pop map layers available on this Map Tiles map. If yous later on vintage map tiles thus yous tin pick out grip of links to vintage map tile schemes from the NYPL Map Library too the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection. Sebastian has used an 1812 map from the David Rumsey Map Collection to laissez passer on his Jules Verne map a suitable 19th Century feel.
The other major evolution inwards the final 7 years is inwards what I telephone telephone narrative mapping. Esri's Story Maps platform and CartoDB's Odyssey.js both render relatively slow ways for developers to painlessly create maps which country stories.
Drexel's Around the World inwards Eighty Days makes dandy piece of job of Esri's Story Maps platform to follow Phileas Fogg's journeying to a greater extent than or less the public on a map. As yous scroll downwardly the page the map automatically follows Fogg's journeying to a greater extent than or less the public spell the sidebar updates alongside relevant excerpts from the text.
