Update - genealogy map

I have recently made a spatial genealogy map using the Google Maps API. Having put the finishing touches to it I’ve now written up the project, code and results are available to view here.

    Cool project. 2 suggestions:
    1) You can auto-zoom to all places by using GLatLngBounds, GLatLngBounds.extend, GLatLngBounds.getCenter and map.getBoundsZoomLevel(GLatLngBounds). You could also easily zoom to the epicenter using map.getBoundsZoomLevel(poly.getBounds())
    2) It’d be nice to have a GControl to let me animate through the generations, following the lines.

    Thanks for the tips Pamela, this was my first Maps project so I don’t know about the full extents of the API yet :)

    I’ll see if I can write in your suggestions!
