Add google maps as a basemap #11

Closed 3vivekb closed 7 years ago

3vivekb commented 8 years ago

Add google maps or google earth as the default basemap instead of Bing maps.

only add google earth, but maintain the original gray as the default basemap

3vivekb commented 8 years ago

I'm sorry @marsxul. User testing showed they didn't like the grey basemap. I think the plan should be we switch to google maps instead. It looks better.

marsxul commented 8 years ago

perhaps we should create a custom google map, so it doesnt complete look like google.

I'd have the agree with the colorscale, its really difficult to make hide/tail of the individual routes. Would say that you're better off with ADA compatibility with a multi-color scheme.

Development for this will be difficult. We will push this to the rebuild.

I would like the Google Maps basemap simple atlas to be the default basemap, google satellite hybrid to be an option as well, maybe leave the amigoGray as well.

marsxul commented 7 years ago

two options, one is to add google maps api via javascript in place of bing the other option is to add google maps api via leaflet
