awesome! thanks!<br><br>Are there any other projects that use polygons that you're aware of??<br><br>Is there any word about GeoMoose becoming an online open community like openstreetmap or onegeology?<br><br>Looks like this is the project I need to join in development. I did a demo of GeoMoose, it looks pretty good. It needs more functionality though. A timeline would be nice. Also, something that would join boundaries of polygons. Here, I'm envisioning that a user can draw a polygon and some lines could automatically be drawn along a line, like a river or a coastline, or another border. This would streamline drawing tremendously.<br>
<br><br>Someone also told me you can do polygons in openstreetmap (parking lots, buildings, etc.). Does anyone know how to do this? I can't seem to be able to figure it out...<br><br><br>Nitin<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<span>Please help!!<br><br><br>Does anyone know an open online mapping platform like openstreetmap that does polygons (OSM only does lines)?<br><br>Basically, I'm envisioning something where someone can add polygons such as historical nations, and then be able to animate them. I should be able to type in, say, "1900" and see the way the world was then. I can then edit a map, changing and adding polygons, and their colors and metadata. I should also be able to view areas by, say, population density and other statistics.<br>
<br>The closest thing I've found is "click2map", which is not opensource. Something needs to be created just like it. Try it out, and create a polygon:<br><a href="http://www.click2map.com/free_map_editor" target="_blank">http://www.click2map.com/free_map_editor</a></span><br>
