World of Warcraft Custom Google Map Tiles Phase 1 completed
Posted on 2008-03-16 22:41:28


The wow custom tiles for google maps is my latest project. The project is seperated in 3 phases for now:

  1. Creating the map and cutting the tiles.
  2. Converting World of Warcraft coordinates per zone to lat long coordinates.
  3. Adding for each screenshot a dot on the map.
  4. Adding Flight Paths to the maps. (Note: This will be the actual paths and not direct lines).
  5. Adding an overlay for roads through the game.

I started this project to provide a interactive map to replace the current static maps. While this project is still fresh and the hardest phase is up next. There are thoughts to create a service out of this for small sites but I can't say anything useful about it until at-least phase 3.

More details will be release soon... And keep in mind this is a Pre-Alpha Wink.

P.S. Before phase 2 is completed I'll have an article on how to do phase 1 your self.
