Main Map
Custom maps, custom controls, point-in-polygon and geocoding
Click anywhere in the US to get county information and outline.
POIs along a route (with server side clustering)
A combination of points along a route and server side clustering. Search for healthy food along your travel route. ;-)(Hosted at my new domain, gis5.com)
API V3: Custom Tile Layers with opacity
Newly added functionality in the API V3 offers support for custom tile overlays.
Municipal data for the city of Bakersfield, CA.
This is similar to the custom maps in the Main Map, except that each custom tile layer is added to the map as a GTileLayerOverlay, allowing for each layer to be switched on and off independently.
Server side clusterer
Written in PHP, and with a MySQL database, this server side clustering script returns results in less than 1 second from a table with 40,000 records. Please note that the co-hosted server can be moody at times.
Driving Radius (Multiple destinations)
Using a single GDirections object, plot routes that reach 30 miles from a center point
SIMBAD Astronomical Database and Google Sky
Search the SIMBAD Astronomical Database, (operated at CDS, Strasbourg, France), and display results using Google Sky tiles. The Andromeda Galaxy is quite spectacular, isn't it? :-)
Place That State (Draggable polygons)
A game like mashup where you're given the outline of a random state and you have to move it into place by dragging.Implements a trick to drag entire polygons without setting the polygon into edit mode.
MControlSuite
Several custom controls for your maps. (MMapTypeControl - MOpacityControl - MZoomControl - MStatusControl - MTileNumberControl)
Math function plotter
Plot a graph of math functions on a Google Map with Euclidean projection
Polygon selection tool
A tool to draw a selection area in the shape of a polygon. The selection can be either a rectangle or a circle.
Points of Interest along a route
Get driving directions and then find the points of interest that lie within a predefined distance of your route in the state of Texas.
Heatmap
A heatmap showing the density of fast food restaurants in the United States
Driving Directions with the GDirections object
Driving directions using the GDirections object. (With custom styling of results)
Circle
This is a circle on the surface of the planet. At larger radii, the effects of the Mercator projection become clearly visible.
Route plot and distance calculation
Just click around and see the distance travelled for each segment on the right.
Distance from mouse to line
Click the map two or more times to create polylines. Distance from mouse to each line is calculated in pixels
Minimap in infowindow
Click the the marker and the 'Location' tab
Maps in sync
Bunch of maps synchronized between them (useless)
Maps in sync 2 - different
Bunch of maps synchronized between them (still useless)
Route Plotter for Magellan Explorist files
Upload a track file from a Magellan Explorist GPS and see it plotted on the map.
Dynamic map resize
Show/hide map and resize
Driving Directions with a KML file
This was made before the GDirections object became available in the API. It gets the directions in a KML file that you can save on your server
Scanning Radar
A toy I made for fun. Animated radar screen with polylines.
Resize viewport
Resize the map's viewport by miles or kilometers.
Flight path along a great circle
(Obsolete)
Click 1, click 2 and see the flight path an aircraft would follow
Mouse Wheel Zoom
(Obsolete)
Control the map zoom with your mouse wheel.
