I'm certain you've seen at to the lowest degree 1 of the pop autocomplete maps that convey been doing the rounds over the concluding few months. These maps purpose Google search autocomplete to demo what are the most pop search damage for locations or thus the world.
Well at nowadays yous tin practise your ain alongside the Map Channels Autocomplete Map Maker. I hope yous that yous are going to convey a lot of fun playing alongside this, every bit yous tin meet whatsoever search damage that yous desire in addition to virtually at 1 time stance the results on your ain map. You tin fifty-fifty embed your created maps inwards your ain website.
Using the Autocomplete Map Maker yous tin practise your ain map inwards a thing of seconds in addition to using whatever search damage yous want. The sorcerer allows yous to meet whatsoever 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, yous tin meet 'Why is' every bit your prefix in addition to 'so' every bit your suffix in addition to yous volition teach your ain map of the world, displaying all the pop search entries for the countries inwards the basis - Why is America thus 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 U.S.A. states. You tin fifty-fifty purpose your ain KML of locations to customize the map to demo the results alone for your ain locations (for instance 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 thus that the labels don't overlap. Where 2 labels powerfulness overlap on the map, 1 is removed in addition to is alone shown every bit the user zooms in. This is a peachy enhancement to the map label library in addition to I'm going to endeavour in addition to persuade Map Channels to liberate the code on Github.
