Esri's Story Maps is 1 of the around pop narrative mapping platforms in addition to has been widely used yesteryear a position out of paper websites to practice interactive mapped reports on of import word stories. Odyssey.js from CartoDB is around other flush map library which is directly also gaining around traction on around of the world's leading websites.
It is really slow to practice your ain flush map library using Create Story Maps alongside the Google Maps API.
It is also possible to role the jQuery Waypoints plug-in alongside Leaflet.js to practice a flush map alongside this pop mapping platform. It took me an hr this morn to apace knock-up JourneyMaps, a demonstration map using Waypoints alongside Leaflet.
