New What's On The Otherside Of The Earth?

Darren's Side Projects convey really speedily snuff it a regular characteristic on Google . This calendar week Darren has created an interesting Antipode Map.

Antipode Maps are non new. Zefrank's If the basis Were a Sandwich was an early on experiment amongst the Google Maps API. Both Zefrank's together with Darren's apps allow the user locate their put on i map together with detect what is on the other side of the basis on or together with therefore other map.

What is to a greater extent than interesting for me is that the Antipode Map includes ii Google Maps inwards each map div. Each map genuinely contains or together with therefore other upside downwards Google Map, whose visibility tin last controlled yesteryear an opacity slider control.

Darren himself admits that the trial of ii map layers inwards i "gets a petty overwhelming", but it is an interesting experiment which could peradventure last used for other effects. For example, if the minute map wasn't upside down, you lot could peradventure role a minute styled map to allow the user to adapt the await of a Google Map amongst a slider control.
