As far as I know, there's only one map where labels _are_ dynamic - Google MapsGL, and it's available only on 10% of browsers.
> While I like the concept of the open maps idea and I'm sure it has a bright future, what about aerial views, street view, etc? Is this not a functionality step backwards for FourSquare hopping on such a new service at this point?
FourSquare wasn't using street view, but the satellite imagery void is definitely something to address.
- abraham 15y agoBased on the system requirements MapsGL should be available much more than 10% of browser. WCIU... pegs "partial" WebGL support at 46%. Evan if you remove a generous % for lack of hardware support you are still significantly over 10%. http://support.google.com/maps/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1630790 http://support.google.com/maps/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answe... http://caniuse.com/#search=webgl http://caniuse.com/#search=webgl
