Is the Ajax-enabled web browser the best place for client apps that need maximum security measures?Travis Wilson2005-03-31 17:05:17 http://ajaxredux.com/forum/stories.php?story=05/03/25/8364157 Don't get me wrong; I think Google Maps is great. But here are two map applications that surpass it in many respects. Map of Switzerland (http://map.search.ch/index.en.html). This has been around at least since the launch of Google Maps. Their street map overlays an aerial photo of the landTravis Wilson2005-03-25 14:19:24 http://ajaxredux.com/forum/stories.php?story=05/03/24/9533462 Try this: Fire up that browser popularity contest winner Internet Explorer on Windows. Go into its advanced security settings, and disable ActiveX (a common practice for the security-conscious). Now browse maps.google.com .

I suppose we'll require registration at some point in the future, but for now we want to hear what you think.

It's a particular way to implement the functionality -- the intent -- that I hope we define here over the coming weeks. But should we focus on the specific technology?Travis Wilson2005-03-21 13:33:38
