Webfoot's Map Coloring Credits
- I got U.S. state boundaries from an electoral votes map by Kevin Khaw, which I massaged into KML and combined with a bit of PHP.
- I drew the Canadian province borders by hand with Google MyMaps.
- The French boundaries have an extensive geneology:
- Contours from GeoFla (http://www.ign.fr)
- Conversion from Lambert II+ and WGS84 by Convers (http://vtopo.free.fr)
- Alexandre DUBOIS (Zakapatul) pointed me at the original KML file.
- AleX also helped answer some questions about French localization.
- To make the low-resolution French département boundaries, I adapted an implementation of the Douglas-Peucker algorithms that John Coryat adapted from a program written by Stephen Lime.
- The world country borders came from data provided by Valery Hronusov and Michael Barsky.
- Naturally, I wouldn't have been able to do this without the efforts of the Google Geo team -- making the Google Maps API, developing KML, and documenting them both well.
- While the folks on the Google Maps mailing list haven't been directly useful on the maps coloring projet (yet), the help they gave me when I was getting started was really really helpful. For this project, just knowing that they were there to call upon meant that I felt confident tackling this project.
- The Mapki site is extremely useful. I assume I used something from there on this project, but I don't remember what.
