<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><span></span><br>
