The jquery resource used in this page is not being loaded over HTTPS, so my browser configuration (Chrome + HTTPS Everywhere) is refusing to load it, which means none of the page works. This is a really easy fix, just changing http://ajax.google.. http://ajax.google... to //ajax.google... will load it over the same protocol used to load the full page.

  Thanks! Went ahead and made the fix.

I'd recognize Pittsburgh anywhere, even in Crayon.

A similar thing: http://dessine-moi-une-ville.makina-corpus.net http://dessine-moi-une-ville.makina-corpus.net I think it's a limited area though.

  There was a really nice couple of minutes there where I got first the Stack Overflow Closevote backlog (?!), then access to all the server directories. So eh, you should probably have a look at that. Nice app, though!

This is the best thing to show to the "Google Maps is better" crowd. It's a poster child for the importance of open-data sources. Kudos to this. Try doing that with Google's data. Even if you worked in the right department, you would have to pass this through management. With open data you just have to do it!

Just of of curiosity -- is it possible to do something similar using the Google Maps API?
- FigBug 13y ago
  Nope.
- mapmeld 13y ago
  Google has made some great map mods internally, but it'd be impossible to do this with their API, without the underlying vector data.
