Over the years High German paper Zeit has published some nifty information visualizations using the Google Maps API. However it has straightaway followed the tendency laid upward past times many other digital publishers inward moving away from Google Maps too towards using OpenStreetMap.
Zeit Online too Google Maps
IN 2011 Zeit Online used Google Maps to expose the place information captured past times mobile phones. The map animated the movements of High German Green political party politician, Malte Spit on a Google Map, for a half dozen calendar month period. Verräterisches Handy was non exclusively a nifty map it also proved to endure ane of the most effective articles inward raising the awareness of mobile users to the place information captured past times their phones too past times the telephone companies.
In 2011, later the Japanese seismic sea wave too the resulting meltdown at Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, Zeit Online published a Google Map visualizing how many Americans alive nigh nuclear ability plants.
The American Nuclear Power Plants Map includes a distance slider tool that allows y'all to visualize how many people alive within different distances of a nuclear ability plant. For example, the voluntary evacuation zone around the Fukushima ability institute is eighteen miles. Using the Zeit-Online map nosotros abide by that a full of 16,040,474 Americans alive inside eighteen miles of a nuclear plant.
In 2012 Zeit Online created a like map for its High German readers. The German Nuclear Power Plants Map shows how many people alive unopen to High German nuclear ability plants. This map also includes a distance slider tool that lets y'all visualize how many Germans alive inside dissimilar distances of a nuclear ability plant.
Zeit Online too OpenStreetMap
Yesterday the MapBox Blog published a post on Zeit Online's switch to custom made OpenStreetMaps. The post is an interesting exam of the blueprint decisions Zeit Online has taken inward their novel hold off interactive maps. These blueprint choices include the role of Zeit Online fonts for map labels too the lean role of map labels to brand infinite for information on information visualizations.
The MapBox post also includes links to a issue of examples of Zeit-Online's role of interactive maps. These include an interesting map showing how doctor’s offices are concentrated inward affluent neighborhoods of High German cities, a map displaying the tracks of all hurricanes betwixt 2008 too 2013 too a map showing the UK's nuclear ability institute structure plans.
The MapBox weblog post of course of report does non explicate the reasons behind Zeit Online's determination to driblet the role of the Google Maps API for MapBox too OpenStreetMap. We tin strength out in all probability infer that the greater liberty inward blueprint command offered past times OpenStreetMap contributed inward some constituent to the newspaper's decision.
I've written before almost how I retrieve that Google has been really deadening over the final 2 years inward developing the Google Maps API. I strongly believe that Google's recent concentration on Google Maps Engine too fail of the Google Maps API is causing map developers to switch to other mapping platforms.
Of course of report Google may non help almost this. Google Maps Engine generates income for Google too also way that they cause got access to all the place information uploaded past times Google Maps Engine users.
