Hi dwarves! I built (and finally released a usable version) a  small tool to generate a google maps like view from legends mode exports. You can view a demo of such a map here: http://demo.uristmaps.org/. The project's page is www.uristmaps.org where you can find the download and usage instructions.

Current features:

• Render a sattelite like map view of the world
• Show structures and sites
• Provide an index of all sites
• Provide an index of population groups
• Heatmaps to visualize population distribution

Many more features are planned, especially bringing more details about sites and their history in. Unfortunately I am not very good with creating graphics so at the moment the project uses a combination of the game asset graphics from www.kenney.nl and some creations of my own. It would be a tremendous help if anyone with more skills in graphics would want to work on a tileset for Uristmaps.

I'm looking forward to your feedback and complaints
Also, I'm not very good at describing my projects so feel free to ask anything that's unclear for you.

I really like this.

thanks for sharing the app =)

That's impressive!  Nice work!  I think we're using the same icon grouping plugin for work.

Imo, the icons should appear a bit smaller, especially at zoomed-out views.  They clutter up the map a lot as is.  If you're in need of more icons, check out game-icons.net for a large, well-maintained collection of free high quality icons in both png and svg formats.  (No I don't work for them or anything - I just think it's an awesome resource.)

Very nice looking!

Now it just needs star ratings for the sites...

Thank you all for your kind words. I have now released a new version of Uristmaps which now also displays population info and detailed maps (if available) for the sites. Please check out the demo or try it yourself.

I am very interested in your opinions and ideas for additional features.

Cool. What would you use it for? More efficient fortress location scouting?

I think it is most useful as a navigation aid in adventure mode. But it can also help you check the neighborhood when embarking

Handy!

Question - can we use different legends map exports for the main image? Specifically the first on in the detailed map exports would be nice!

This makes me want to make a top-down version of isoworld for really close zoom levels.

Hey guys, I have just released a new version of Uristmaps. Sorry that it took some time, I completely rewrote the thing so it hopefully runs better and on more systems (Windows 32bit was completely broken). You can check out the demo here and download here. Here's what the new version brings:

• New tileset that is hopefully more eye friendly
• Heatmaps for population distribution - the example shows where you can find dwarves in the demo world.
• Roads & tunnels now displayed on map

Would be great if any of you tested it and gave me some feedback.
