PS Street Map

[Dirk]

So, Google's finally got their Streetview working for Chicago, now.  I just Googlestalked myself and a number of familiar locations around the city, and I'm wondering if anyone has any interest in an interactive map of all the locations that have appeared in the comic so far.  I could insert the neighborhood names, too.  You can even see if I got things right or not, too.

What do you think?

Go for it! You are a brave man to invite such scrutiny...

That would be awesome, Dirk.  ^_^

If you wanted, you could use it to illustrate the incident patterns that are developping, the way police really do.

Dirk doing TWO things that are amazing!!!

I mean, the fan feedback is just great, and shows just a level of humility that artists usually don't admit or show when they have something successful. This is why I refuse to see 30 Days of Night.. cause the original author never has been to Barrow, let alone get it right..

But, he's also taking Web Comics to the NEXT LEVEL by in a way integrating Google Maps/Earth into it!!!  Now, to be able to read PS on an iPhone,or some other smart phone with GPS and Google integration.

Okay, guys, here's Paradigm Shift - Chicago Map v.02 (my second try) using Google's MyMaps feature.  So far it's just a list of locations in chronological order by their introduction in the story.  So far Streetviews doesn't work in it directly.  I don't know if I can do anything to change that, yet.  I also tried drawing in the neighborhoods, but I wasn't able to get past some dead links after saving, and I don't want to recreate the wheel again.  I'll try those again later.

Alright, time to get some thumbnails done.

I got the neighborhoods working, and put in some links to Streetview, now.  I'll do some testing over the weekend, and so long as nothing breaks, I guess I'll take it public next week.

Take a look and let me know what you think.
