For those more interested in the map, I found the source here: http://www.wellingtonstravel.com/index.html#wall-map-london There is no web version that I see, but you can hang it on your wall

Do you have a good idea on how to make it for the web? I couldn't find a good solution to showcase it with good zoom capability, so I opted for an app.

Wow I didn't realise I received so many upvotes (and it's of interest to people) until I checked HN today! Thank you everyone :) I really appreciate it. It's a pretty simple app, so I didn't think people would be so impressed, but I'm glad :)

Thanks!

You drawed all that? It is beautiful.

It's actually a long story haha.

Just bought one of the cheapest.

Thank you so much! :)

I could if I owned an iOS device. Nifty idea, but not sure why this is a native app.

How would you have implemented it?

Is there a web version?

No, I'm not sure what's the best implementation for a web version. Any ideas?

It might be hard work..

This link is a good jumping off point though (see blog post linked in answer)

Thanks catso :)

I love your maps! For a web version, I would recommend Mapbox - I was able to get custom maps up and running in no time. CartoDB is another good option. Ping me if you need any help. Cheers

Does it cover the whole of Greater London?

It's central London.

cool!
