@@ -30,7 +30,7 @@ The map visualization currently has two main drawbacks:
* the map doesn't rotate
* boat, water and land visualization is not sufficiently appealing
For the rotation problem we see two possible solutions: transforming coordinates while staying on Google Maps; or replacing the map provider, probably using OpenStreetMap. For the "appeal" issue we seem to agree that the use of plugin technology is to be avoided, and so the options have to be recruited from HTML5/CSS-land. In particular, we believe that better boat visualizations are more or less a matter of a good graphics designer painting hull and sail constellations for specific boat classes. Water visualizations will have to be experimented with on the basis of HTML5 canvas technology (performance, appeal). Land visualization would require satellite imagery with precise geo-location information to fit into a map provider and may be more difficult.
