jQuery Geo docs
Welcome!
jQuery Geo is an open-source, geospatial mapping jQuery plugin from Applied Geographics developed with the intention of making spatial web mapping significantly simpler than it may initially seem. We would like to point out the term "open-source" to explictly state that Google, Bing, MapQuest, Yahoo! & Esri are generally free but not open.
Please read the following sections for more information and examples, and thank you for considering us!
Also, please keep in mind that the documentation comes first with this project and, until the beta release, can be ahead of the code. Look to the examples section to determine which parts of the design have been implemented.
docs
This project takes pride in having easy-to-use, up-to-date documentation. Before any code is committed, these docs are updated with any public API changes and sometimes internal design decisions. The side effect is that the documenation may be way ahead of the code at times. Also, any undocumented features you find in the source should be ignored or asked about.
examples
Now that that's out of the way, here are some code examples! Use these as a suppliment to reading the above sections but above all, have fun!
component examples
This first set of examples attempts to test various components of jQuery Geo in an insolated way.
- simplest
- mobile
- proj
- bbox
- center, zoom, & pixelSize options
- zoom method
- zoom mode
- destroy
- tiled services
- shingled (dynamic) services
- tilingScheme

- events
- append
- shapeStyle
- find
- remove
- empty
- draw
- drawStyle
- geometry functions
demos
The examples in this second set of use the features of jQuery Geo in a more interesting way. They attempt to show & test how various components work together.
showcase
This third set are more featured examples to show how other parts of your application can work with geomap. Some of these even try to implement slimmed-down versions of an existing applications.
internals
Lastly, short of looking through the source code you can read a bit about the internal design decisions we made in the following section.
