Create Vector Maps With HTML5 & Canvas – Cartegan
Cartegan is an open source HTML5 & Canvas based framework for creating and rendering vector maps, ideal for news channles, reporting agencies & GPS type navigation service providers.
Cartagen draws maps dynamically on the client side and maps can:
- move
- adapt
- redraw
- and can include as many layers of data as needed
Vector mapping is done in native HTML 5 & styled wth GSS (cascading stylesheet specification for geospatial information). Maps created with this open source software use less bandwidth and can run easily on the iPhone and the Android platforms.
