[ANN] Route plotter for the London Underground network

1

Hi

I have a facility which uses css and ajax to perform live plotting of routes between two London underground stations. The css plots are overlayed over a London Underground map, with each station as a hotspot. The underlying platform is Ruby on Rails.

I have incorporated certain Web 2.0 features like votes for the best routes, station name autocomplete, context sensitive points of interest along the selected routes etc.

The URL is http://public.ok2life.com/tube/routes. As usual, let me know if you have any feedback by either using the provided MessageBoard, or send me an email.

Ajaxian.com has got some cool suggestions :slight_smile:

My favourite is Pragmatic Ajax, but I am afraid you will have to choose your own favourite title. I have not seen a book that covers every trick for something as complex as Ajax yet.
