The introduction of draggable polygons into the Google Maps API has proved real pop alongside developers. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 set out of developers accept used draggable polygons to demonstrate the effects of Google using the Mercator Projection inwards Google Maps.
Google itself created a demo game, called the Mercator Puzzle. The game uses a set out of province shapefiles that when moved along the lines of longitude resize to demonstrate the country's right size anywhere on the map.
Darren Wien's has too used draggable polygons to practice a Draggable Tissot Indicatrix. This Google Map places a set out of circles (all alongside a 500km radius) all across the globe. You tin come across how the Mercator Projection distorts the circles inwards the screenshot above. In the app itself all the circle polygons are draggable. So, alongside this interactive Tissot Indicatrix, y'all tin genuinely motion the circles roughly the map together with disclose how they grow together with shrink along lines of longitude.
