This is not my blogHow a non-tech-savvy user can use the Statkart resources
Statkart.no recently released their map data for free usage (at least to a certain degree) – but how can non-tech-savvy users / non-webdevelopers use this?
I’ll try to post some suggestions here – first out is
Swap to more interesting map data on Dagbladet a lot of sites with Google Maps:
Added autodetection – sites with a Google map (GMap2) stored in a globally accessible variable named map or gMap should “just work”.
For the non-tech-savvy: Try clicking the bookmarks while on a page that has a map with the Google logo on it – it might just work! 
Note: The links below currently violates the terms of usage as they do not add the proper copyright notice under maps.
This can be solved with some more javascript (inject a div under the map, for instance), I’ll see if I’m able to do so later.
Add the following links as bookmarks and you should (at least in Firefox, Chrome and IE8) be able to swap maps while on an article with a Google map @ db.no.
ProTip: Add a new folder to your bookmark toolbar (or Favorites bar in IE) and store them all in there – that way they’re easily accessible.
