New The Map Is Non The Territory, It's A Photo

On Monday, inward The map is non the territory, it's a painting, I looked at how mapping platforms tin last used to render an interactive interface to explore paintings inward fine detail. Of class if y'all are interested inward using mapping platforms to explore pictorial representations y'all aren't confined to using paintings. You tin too practise interactive maps from photographs.


Bjørn Sandvik has written a nifty Leaflet plugin (code Showing Zoomify Images amongst Leaflet explains how y'all tin practise map tiles from a photograph using Zoomify.

Using Bjørn's Leaflet plugin all y'all need to practise to practise an interactive photograph map is Zoomify your photograph and provide the url to the Zoomify epitome folder. The number is a Leaflet map of your photograph which y'all tin pan as well as zoom similar whatever other map.

Of class i time y'all convey created your map from a photograph y'all tin add together other interactivity every bit well. For representative y'all tin add together map markers or bounding boxes on the mapped photo. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 skillful representative of this is the Boston Globe's One Year, One City mapped photograph.


One yr later on the tragic bomb explosion at the Boston Marathon, The Boston Globe invited survivors, police, firefighters, EMTs, doctors, nurses as well as runners dorsum to the complete work on Boylston Street to set for a grouping photo.

The paper as well as hence used the Leaflet mapping platform to render an interactive graphic of survivors of the bombing of the Boston Marathon, using the photo.

The resulting One Year, One City  mapped photograph is a powerful testimony to the resilience of the people of Boston. By using the Leaflet mapping platform the Boston Globe has created an interactive photograph which y'all tin pan unopen to as well as inward which y'all tin zoom inward on individuals inward the picture. You tin fifty-fifty click on the people inward the photograph to acquire a trivial to a greater extent than most their sense during end year's tragic events.


If y'all desire to practise your ain photograph map tiles for the Google Maps API y'all tin purpose Photoshop amongst Bramus Van Damme's Photoshop Google Maps Tile Cutter Script. With the script y'all tin automatically cutting a really large epitome inward Photoshop into tiles which y'all tin straight off purpose amongst the Google Maps API.

The script is available for download on Github. There is too an representative map on Github (screenshot above) amongst tiles created using the Photoshop Google Maps Tile Cutter Script.
