New Click & Drag - It's A Big Footing - Updated
Today's xkcd strip is pretty amazing. The strip, 'Click together with Drag', includes i frame (the end big one) which is interactive inwards the mode of on-line slippy maps. If y'all click together with drag the strip unopen to y'all volition detect a rattling huge Blue Planet lies beneath the express frame of this comic strip.
The exclusively affair missing from the icon to give-up the ghost inwards an online map is zoom controls. This way that it isn't possible to zoom out on the strip together with zoom inwards rapidly on a dissimilar surface area of the image.
I manifestly wasn't the exclusively mortal to shout out back it would survive a peachy thought to exercise an actual map from the end frame of the xkcd strip. Earlier today I came across xkcd Map, a quick hack that lets y'all stance the whole icon amongst the Google Maps API. Being merely a quick hack the developer didn't exercise map tiles for the icon together with hence unfortunately y'all can't zoom inwards together with appreciate the finer details (such equally the speech communication bubbles).
Update - this Google Maps API version of xkcd Click & Drag plant brilliantly - xkcd 1110.
This xkcd 1110 map uses ESRI maps together with plant a lilliputian better.You tin genuinely zoom inwards anywhere inwards the icon together with appreciate fully the truthful genius of Randall Munroe. However the best map is this Leaflet powered map, xkcd Map-Rent-a-Geek.
