the url is https://google.org/crisismap/
did an “inspect element” but got nothing. I was wondering how that map is generated?
where would the images be stored, Is it one big map or several pieces?
Opinions?
thx

There’d be way too much data for a map of that size to be stored as a single image, and inefficient, as you’d have to load the whole thing even if you only wanted to view a small area. Usually the way these maps work is to split up the map into a series of tiles, with a full set of tiles for each zoom level that you want to support. Additionally, data like the weather advisory/warning hatched areas are a separate layer (also tiled, I believe) which is overlaid on the base map.
Thx fret. but was still wondering as to how it is processed, why a ctrl+right wont’ let me do an “inspect element”.

At the very bottom of the webpage (with the text), there is a raw HTML part that lets you do inspect element there.
Just right click instead of using the keyboard.
Thanks Ryan, totally missed that
