New The Autocomplete Map Maker

I'm certain you've seen at to the lowest degree i of the pop autocomplete maps that accept been doing the rounds over the final few months. These maps purpose Google search autocomplete to present what are the most pop search damage for locations to a greater extent than or less the world.

Well at nowadays y'all tin practise your ain alongside the Map Channels Autocomplete Map Maker. I hope y'all that y'all are going to accept a lot of fun playing alongside this, every bit y'all tin larn into whatever search damage that y'all desire in addition to near straightaway stance the results on your ain map. You tin fifty-fifty embed your created maps inwards your ain website.

Using the Autocomplete Map Maker y'all tin practise your ain map inwards a affair of seconds in addition to using whatever search damage y'all want. The sorcerer allows y'all to larn into whatever search damage (both suffixes in addition to prefixes) in addition to and then automatically creates your map built on Google autocomplete suggestions.

So, for example, y'all tin larn into 'Why is' every bit your prefix in addition to 'so' every bit your suffix in addition to y'all volition larn your ain map of the world, displaying all the pop search entries for the countries inwards the Blue Planet - Why is America hence violent?

There are some real clever things going on alongside the Autocomplete Map Maker. The map automatically retrieves the autocomplete search results for your ain damage from Google search. It in addition to then adds labels to a Google Map showing the results. You tin choose to stance either the results for countries or for the US states. You tin fifty-fifty purpose your ain KML of locations to customize the map to present the results solely for your ain locations (for event here is a map I created using a kml of some of America's cities).

The labels on the map are displayed using an enhanced version of the Google Maps label library. Map Channels has enhanced the library hence that the labels don't overlap. Where 2 labels powerfulness overlap on the map, i is removed in addition to is solely shown every bit the user zooms in. This is a nifty enhancement to the map label library in addition to I'm going to endeavour in addition to persuade Map Channels to loose the code on Github.
