2018 – 2019: The real news

2018 – 2019: Layout and backend changes July 2018 www.dialektkarten.ch breaks due to Google Maps changes of terms of service Jan. 2019 Comprehensive update with mostly under-the-hood changes: • Three applications with same layout: map viewer, translation demonstrator, dialectometry viewer • Change from Google Maps API to Leafmet API with Stamen maps (based on OSM) • Change from KML (containing style) to GeoJSON (no style) • New architecture to accommodate different projects using the same scripts 11
