Love to See This on the iPhone!

I’ve been trying to get this to work on the iPhone. All I really want is to be able to have the map full screen on the iPhone. I wouldn’t mind tracking WI votes, but really care about the entire map.

Unfortunately just not familiar enough with the code to understand how to hack it up myself … and the w=h= stuff in the URL doesn’t seem to do what I think it should.

Got a top-secret URL I could use?

Great app!

Nathan

Congrats!

Congrats on the launch, Michael! Very cool app.

By the way, I told Mika Tuupola that I’d pass on his tweet: “Bit confusing that https://maps.google.com/vote/ does not work but https://maps.google.com/vote works.” Wonder if that’s something that Google can fix. Simple apache/.htaccess change.

Looking forward to seeing the voting location info added later this month.

Great work

Great work on the election maps. Have you seen this?

https://www.electoral-vote.com/

They’re showing an electoral college map of the U.S., which I think will be of intense interest to people now that the primaries are over. Their polling data is available as CSV file downloads, updated daily. It would be neat to see it on Google maps.

Awesome!

Hi, just watched your talk on youtube and would like to thank you for sharing the great work and experience. The resources are very useful!

ps: the Array.prototype.join.call trick was cool :)

Your maps are AWESOME! Keep up the great work! :)

Not me, sorry!

Apologies for the very slow reply, Bart! Alas, I’m not the Mike Geary you’re looking for. Hope you track him down—it is great to catch up with old friends.

Thanks!

Thanks very much, Vishal, you are really kind to say that.

I just posted the links to most of what I talked about, including the fast sort function for JavaScript and other goodies. I’ll follow up with some more detailed articles over the next week or so. Stay tuned… :-)

Your talk today at Google

Mike, I really learned a lot about mapplets today during your talk at Google. Great talk, and the code snippets you spoke about sorting in JavaScript (which is very slow). Please let me know when you’ll be posting some of the stuff you spoke today at the talk so I could know more about mapplets. Thanks Vishal.

Gunter?

Is this the Mike Geary I knew at Gunter AFS in the late 70’s/early 80’s? If so drop a line….
