EDIT: I am not asking you to write any code for me, I can write code just fine. I am however looking for a ready made solution built by someone else, something like an API, script etc that is GPL licensed or free to use.
I’m working on a project and I ran into a wall. I’ve created a database that holds “geo” data, i.e. coordinates in 2D form for a web game experiment. So the 2D coordinates in the database hold data as to what is on that “point in space”.
Now, I need something to render that data into a “Google maps like” application that can pan the map and automatically load the data from the database (or pull it all at once and just render it as you pan the map).
My requirements are as follows:
– relatively simple to integrate
– cross browser compatible
– Preferably no Flash or Java
– JavaScript, PHP, HTML5, AJAX is a plus
– if it has any extra options, it would be nice if they could be regulated (i.e. turned on or off)
– image tiles are OK
– the ability to create a custom map made out of images is a MUST
I have looked around to see if there are any similar questions, and I have found some similar but after reading them I still haven’t found anything decent.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you all in advance.
You could try customising leaflet for this purpose. It’s designed for more traditional maps. However, it might be possible to adapt it to your needs.
