OpenSwitchMaps

Map service switcher for Chrome/Firefox extension Greatly contributed by jazzzz. This is a fork from tankaru/OpenSwitchMaps. Kudos for the great work!! Thanks! A very good foundation for my fork!

Motivation for fork (New Features & Fixes)

  • Some cleanup done. Added new maps
  • Most of the maps didn't calculate the lat/lon/zoom calculation that is needed to open a new map from.
  • Chanced the Categories, because some grew to big, while others remained small.
  • Switched behavour in the Map Popup: Left Click now opens in new Tab, Middle Click opens in same Tab
  • Sorted the Maps by Name
  • Show Descriptions while MouseOver in Options Popup
  • Existing Extension was listing the Categories in Columns. This limited the number of Categories. Also was a waste of space with smaller Categories. Solution: Render Categories in rows

Install

you have 3 options ...

a) from Browser plugin

  • (sorry this is outdated, because updating to Marketplace is an time expensive manual task I'm currently not willing to do) Chrome webstore
  • (also outdated) Firefox addon center
  • Opening the Dialogs on first click take some seconds to show up. Be patient. :)

b) from source code

This extention uses Node.js

  1. Install Node.js

  2. Install the dependencies: npm install

  3. Build the extension: npm run build

  4. The extension is built in the dist directory

  5. Add to your Chrome/Firefox

    • Chrome: chrome://extensions/ -> Load unpacked

  6. Optional:

    Increase the build version before 'Build the extension' in Powershell (if needed):

    • Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope Process (optional in case of security warning)
    • .\inc_patch.ps1

c) Load unpacked dist directory from github

  1. Download the /dist Directory from github (Clone the Code or Code -> Download ZIP) to a Directory of of your choice
  2. Add to your Chrome/Firefox
    • Chrome: chrome://extensions/ -> Load unpacked

How to use

  1. Open Google map, for example (https://www.google.de/maps/place/Vienna/@48.2092464,16.850411,11z)
  2. You will see an earth icon near URL bar. Click it.
  3. Select OpenStreetMap, for example.
  4. You can jump to OpenStreetMap at the same position
  5. Left click: Open in a new tab. Middle click: Open the same tab.

Settings

Show/hide maps:

  1. Right click the earth icon,
  2. Select "Options"
  3. It might take some seconds for the popup to apear. Collecting all the data takes some time.
  4. Check/uncheck each map to show/hide it.
