Tiled Map in a Browser

With the advent of SVG support in the browser thanks to Adobe's new SVG plugin, and with some simple javascript it is now easily possible to present a zoomable map of the whole planet to the user in an interactive fashion. Here we demonstrate this idea. See this article in Mapping Hacks [ ED: Note this article was not accepted for Mapping Hacks after all so it is left here to benefit the community ]. - anselm 2003

The files here include:

client.js  .... the javascript part of our script
client.svg .... an svg stub to setup the context for our tile display
earth ......... our tiles ( special thanks to Russ Smith for generating these )
help.html ..... this help file
index.html .... the index that launches the svg map view.
