Hey Evan, unfortunately I don’t have much time to revisit this code. It’s definitely not production code, I wrote it as a quick hack scraper to get the data I needed.

It should probably run in Safari on Windows. The JS code isn’t all that complicated, so it can probably be tweaked to be more cross browser friendly by someone with the will to do so.

Lee, can you (or anyone) post a version of the code you can confirm works on windows? FF, Chrome, Explorer all churn on the second pair of coordinates. Great stuff!

Hi there! Found your site through Golan. Fantastic stuff, all of this! I want to echo Mike D’s request for a temperature map of San Francisco. You’ll understand this better once you’ve moved here, but the variety of microclimates is insane, and sometimes the temperature can drop 30 degrees within a few blocks, due to wind or fog. Where I live it’s so foggy in the summer, I have to look at a webcam from another neighborhood just to find out whether the sun is shining!

I am preparing a blog post for Discovery News about walkability. I’d like to post your map on the blog entry. Of course, I’ll credit the image. Please let me know if you’ll grant permission for me to use the image on the blog.

Thanks much,
Jessica
