This map is built atop Google Maps. It simulates where all trains are in Switzerland based on timetables. Since most Swiss trains are decidedly punctilious it works really well. A promised enhancement will tap into onboard GPS, giving real-time, real positioning.
Ah, I want to go back to France! And Geneva, and points beyond.....does anyone have a wheelbarrow filled with Euro I can have?
Great site once I remembered to look at it with broadband! It gets the imagination going about the future of GPS working with such things in realtime. Would it be like having a fishing sonar? Would it take out some of the "sport" involved?
ReplyDeleteFun map anyway.
The 2008 Horizon Report (homework reading for a class) just enlightened me on the concept of a "mashup". This map is one heck of a cool example of one. Find some more!
