TimeMap is a Javascript library to facilitate using Google Maps with a SIMILE timeline. The library allows you to load one or more datasets in JSON or KML onto both a map and a timeline simultaneously. By default, only items in the visible range of the timeline are displayed on the map.
Version 1.1 Now Up!
This version includes a few tweaks and bugfixes, and several helper files, including a significantly easier initialization script. It also includes a number of example files to help get you started.
The BasicUsage page gives a good rundown of what's required if you want to write your own initialization script.
Examples
Post-Election Violence in Kenya (pulling KML data from ushahidi.com)
Artists of the Renaissance (pulling JSON data from freebase.com)
The library is designed to be developer-friendly, offering as much access as possible to the underlying APIs. Dependencies: Google Maps API v2.93, SIMILE Timeline v1.2. Comments welcomed at nick (at) nickrabinowitz (dot) com.
