I am very excited to show you all a poc (http://openbangalore.org/maps/) which does GIS purely in Javascript.
I always wanted a way to do contains (check if a given point is inside a polygon) call in browser. This morning I stumbled http://terraformer.io an open source projectby ESRI. Which provides some of those functionalities in Javascript. I hope they continue to develop it. In the poc you can find your ward by clicking on the map or by searching or by GPS. I will probably add some more features. I was quite excited to show you all specially because we have a GIS related hackathon this weekend. POC: http://openbangalore.org/maps/ Libraies: http://terraformer.io and Leaflet n Leaflet plugins. I will write a blog post later but as of now you can check the code at https://github.com/openbangalore/whereami Thej -- Thejesh GN *⏚* ತೇಜೇಶ್ ಜಿ.ಎನ್ http://thejeshgn.com GPG ID : 0xBFFC8DD3C06DD6B0 -- For more details about this list http://datameet.org/discussions/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "datameet" group.
