I'm working on a Javascript map renderer, non tile-based. It's really early-stage alpha, and not publicly released yet, but I'd love some feedback from folks as I'm continuing to develop it. http://cartagen.org - hold down 'r' and drag to rotate, scroll wheel to zoom
(Takes a few seconds to load; i'm using OSM 0.6 api but plan to move to a local planet.osm db for speed) Cartagen downloads point data and draws it using the <canvas> element in native HTML 5. This allows for animations, live/changing realtime data, and in general a complete scripting environment for displaying maps on the client side. It's not been optimized yet, so loading is a little slow, but I'm optimistic that it will scale. Right now, though, I'd like to invite comments, criticisms, etc. and also participants as I'm shortly going to open source this project. Thanks! Jeffrey Warren
