Bike Maps With Touch Gesture Support

Michael Wesch took the iPhone / Android touch map example I put together a few months back to create a free service for bike commuters in Manhattan, Kansas. He creates his own map tiles which include information helpful for bike commuters such as where bike racks, bathrooms and water fountains are. The roads and paths are color-coded for bike-ability and he is using browser based geolocation and touch gesture support to make a full screen map track your progress as you bike. Check out the project here:

And the full screen touch gestures version here:

He tells me that he is looking into adding route capability in the future.
