Innovative Maps

[Hillwalker]

While researching my upcoming walk of the el Camino de Santiago and HRP or Alta Ruta or Pyrenean Haute Route in Spain I happened upon this map. What a nice piece of programming. I though that the OS (Ordnance Survey) maps of the UK were nice, this blows them away.

If you give it a try wait until you zoom in and see what happens.

Wow, really love the way the map type changes as you zoom in!

It looks like there is only one map type at each scale. While the author has made a generally nice set of choices, it would be nice if the user could choose to override the default. I sometimes like different map types depending upon what I am looking for (eg roads vs topography).

It would also be nice if there were a scale bar.
