CanvasMap Prototype = HTML5 Canvas + Mapping

Looking for a Windows 8 / HTML5 map control?

CanvasMap is a JavaScript map visualization control (similar to Bing Maps or Google Maps) that is built entirely on top of using the HTML5 Canvas element to render the map. Currently, neither Bing Maps or Google Maps use the Canvas element to render maps, so I thought I’d do this to see how the performance might compare. I know there are a few alternatives already, but I thought I’d have some fun trying to build my own.
