Cartopolis

Hacker News ·

by Nicolas Seriot

A pan-and-zoom map of Switzerland rendered in the chunky web-safe style of late-90s map sites, with search, an aerial-photo view and permalinks. You can export the view as a real GIF or a re-rendered poster up to 4000 by 4000 pixels.

Notes

Coverage is Switzerland-centred. Takes a few seconds to draw the first tiles. The AI credit is on the maker's write-up (seriot.ch/drawing/cartopolis/), not on the map page itself.
