T2K Faction Map of the U.S.

[kato13]

Excellent Work Kato!

Did you only do North america or did you do a UK map too{

I did the whole world, but some places don't have great detail. IIRC the Survivors Guide to the UK listed several units as Southern England. That is difficult to map. Korea is similar as all US units are simply listed as "Korea"

I also seem to remember there being some discussion of whether or not SGtUK should supersede the NATO guide so I think I ignored it. Currently my UK only has the first airborne brigade.

If someone wants to give me unit names, locations, and strength (Men and AFVs/Aircraft) I can map out the UK.

Actually I can map just about anywhere, for any canon/non canon situation, if I have the above information.

The maps were originally going to show where every unit was weekly for the entire war (if the DC group had finished their work). So it is built to handle lots data in lots of variations.

I did notice that whilst you had the British 1st Cheshires. You had not placed British 1st Royal Hampshires.

They are there but they are Co-located with with a German unit. When units are Co-located I either show the largest unit manpower wise or the highest ranking unit (Bat<Reg<Brig<Div<Corps) depending on what the user selects. This prevents some overlapping of icons.

Kato, is this like a sharable web map I know Google Maps has something where you can do that...

I just found out this old page is still working.

This is an early proof of concept prototype that I made that I provided the link to a while ago. It is not as database/bandwidth intensive as my newer version so you guys can check it out.

http://games.juhlin.com/maps/RDF_sourcebook.html

As this is an early prototype it has many issues, like not listing the Country (in the on unit click popup) and collocated units are not represented (Only the largest unit at a single location is shown). I fixed those in my latest version (which is what I have been showing you).

Can you guys tell me how long the page takes to load and what browser you are using. First time load will most be longer than when you return to the page as a lot of the javascript will be cached.

Kato,

In answer to your question.

The RDF map you mentioned loaded on my old XP machine in about 15 seconds. I am running I.E. 7.0 on a DSL service running at 10MBS. I hope this helps.

Less that two seconds, IE 7.

Thanks. That is about the highest I hope to see.

A note, even though it says RDF map it does have the whole world. You need to click grab to move it to other locations.

Hey you got the one unit sitting right over my house... London Ontario...
