Request for maps extensions :D

Post by tall_guy_pete » Wed Jul 05, 2006 12:28 pm

Would it be possible to extend the current maps?

Just seeing UK rather than Europe would clear up flights. Making it easier to track flights as well.

Not just europe, maybe USA split into .... several states?

Just an idea. Will completely understand if this cannot be achieved :)

Personally, I'd rather see implementation of Google Maps or a similar dynamic map system which will allow for you to pan and zoom at will.

I think the coding behind that would be very intense, I would love to have more control over which areas of the world I view though.

I must be awake ... this seems like a good idea 8)

From looking through the info on Google Maps, it isn't really because you can setup dynamic tagging of the routes by calling upon the database entries that are the flight routes and then drawing a line between them. I don't remember what VA I was looking at, but they had done it with their route system and there are several Google Earth addons that do similar things as well.
