Manhattan mapped in Cartagen html/javascript with gss
Manhattan mapped in Cartagen html/javascript with gss from Jeffrey Warren on Vimeo.
A preview of the code I’m developing - I’m calling it Cartagen. It’s a web-based vector framework for dynamic cartography. A Ruby server receives map data from OpenStreetMap and from participants’ cell phones in real-time. Data is plotted in native HTML 5 with the canvas element, and styled with a new stylesheet format, GSS: Geographic Stylesheets. I’ll be demoing a more complete system during the MIT Media Lab’s Sponsor Week.

Wow, this looks cool! Once you are done, make sure you submit it to our Canvas Demos site and we’ll feature it!
