In the time honoured tradition, of kinda resurrecting closed down Google products, heres another..
Its the start of an attempt to recreate Classic Google Maps. But not far beyond a prototype yet.
It can already display KML files, split screen streetview, and 45-degree aerial imagery, three things lost in ‘New Maps’.
Its on GitHub:
https://github.com/barryhunter/classygmaps/
and has its own issue tracker:
https://github.com/barryhunter/classygmaps/issues
If want it to develop, post your requests!
Update: Added two new map types, a live emulation of UK road colour scheme (works worldwide!), and access to legacy map tiles, from before Google changed the colour scheme. I dont think the tiles will be updated to include new roads etc, but might be interesting to get a decent colour scheme.
Hey Barry,
not a request, just wanted to drop you a line to say: thank you, you’re the man!
I rely on the split panel view a lot, with street view in one and directions in the other so I can “walk through” a route when needed. You just saved my mobility.
greetings from Holland,
