Hi, following your suggestion for maps with colours based on the area description, rather than the density, etc, I have modified the "close up" mapping tool I created to incorporate this feature. I havn't drawn any of the image maps yet in this format though as yet. Try this [http://www.itechsc.com/misc/shartak/ubermap/closeup.php?cx=-70367&cy=26313&dn=1&zn=1&sd=1&bc=1 area description based colour map of York] vs the old style [http://www.itechsc.com/misc/shartak/ubermap/closeup.php?cx=-70367&cy=26313&dn=1&zn=1&sd=1 area density based colour map of York].

:Hi [[User:Murk|Murk]]! I am honored to know that you liked my suggestion so much that you implemented it quickly.  I like the result, too -- looks really good! Can't wait to see a toggle button in the close-up view. ;D Cheers -- [[User:Berry|Berry]] 08:32, 14 March 2006 (GMT)

Yeah, I thought about that, it does need a toggle button, it would only take about 30 second to implement except that I couldn't be arsed to draw some little grey/blue icon that fits in with the other arrows ;-) Needs a toggle buttom for the names too (if you use the above links and zoom in you should get the area names).

Google maps API?

(regarding the Wiksik block map)

Have you considered trying to use the google maps api for this? could be fun if you can update stuff, havent looked at it too closely. --Simon 21:57, 5 March 2006 (GMT)

Hi Simon! That's a very interesting idea. I hadn't considered trying that. Unfortunately, I haven't looked at it yet, at all. Might be the perfect excuse to do so, eh? --Berry 08:58, 6 March 2006 (GMT)
I've passed your suggestion along to Frisco, creator of the "MetaMap" project. --Berry 11:09, 7 March 2006 (GMT)


Shartak UBER MAP

Hi, following your suggestion for maps with colours based on the area description, rather than the density, etc, I have modified the "close up" mapping tool I created to incorporate this feature. I havn't drawn any of the image maps yet in this format though as yet. Try this area description based colour map of York vs the old style area density based colour map of York.

Hi Murk! I am honored to know that you liked my suggestion so much that you implemented it quickly. I like the result, too -- looks really good! Can't wait to see a toggle button in the close-up view. ;D Cheers -- Berry 08:32, 14 March 2006 (GMT)

Yeah, I thought about that, it does need a toggle button, it would only take about 30 second to implement except that I couldn't be arsed to draw some little grey/blue icon that fits in with the other arrows ;-) Needs a toggle buttom for the names too (if you use the above links and zoom in you should get the area names).
