Future Maps Plans
Future work, in rough priority order:
- Improved UI. I'd like to let people specify the colour more easily than entering in the HTML colour entitiy.
- More countries! Canada is next on my list (because I live in Canada), then Australia (because they opened up their data).
- More polygon types! Watersheds, fire districts...
- More attribute data! Religion, election information...
- I would like to use open-source mapping frameworks like OpenLayers to get around the issue of Google wanting the rights to all the data I use.
- Take time into account: show different polygons and different attribute values for different years. It would be nice, for example, to be able to allow users to create an animation of country borders, population density, obesity, gender ratio, median house price to median income ratio, etc. over time.
- I would like to someday redo Mapeteria using my new tile generation code to make it much nicer.
If you have something you think would be good to see, and/or have useful data for me, send me email! Back to Webfoot Maps Home
