That would be a great point, if it were true. It's a simple Google Maps API script, the data is fully complimentary you just have to copy/paste it in one place. Takes all of 3 minutes

It's really that easy? DM the directions on how to do it to checkmate then. You might have just proven your usefulness on this forum.

I've been looking at lower Crown Heights for the BK map and I would change it from yellow to orange especially for at night.

Also don't you think that the part of Crown Heights around Albany pjs (let's say, from Kingston to Utica) could be updated to Red ?

Can you give some boundaries?

Ok. Fixed.

Sure. I'd say just continue the orange from Franklin Ave corridor to NY Ave. It's funny cause some of the side streets are pretty quiet, but the main streets of Nostrand, Rodgers, and Bedford have too much going on to be yellow.

Didn't you label Tennis Court specifically red?

The problem is that if you have too many shapes (which would be the case if they were all in one map), the map starts acting funny (sometimes you have to flip between pages to see different parts of the map, or sometimes certain portions don't show up)

Plus, you have to consider that the original map I did was for SI (which is what I'm most familiar with). I didn't originally intend to do all 5 boroughs, but eventually I did it.
