Join me as I build a Google Maps clone from scratch using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript while traveling on a train! 🚂🌍 This tutorial covers everything from loading map images and using the canvas element, to integrating the geolocation API for real-time location updates. Learn how to work with different map projections, like equirectangular and Mercator, and see how to display coordinates on a custom map.
In this video, I go through:
- Finding and loading equirectangular maps
- Setting up a basic HTML and CSS structure
- Using the canvas element for map rendering
- Converting latitude and longitude to cartesian coordinates
- Implementing geolocation to show your current position
- Debugging and fixing common issues
- Adding support for multiple map projections

Welcome to Phase 2 of my Self-Driving Car Course!
You dont need to have watched Phase 1 to start this course. A Virtual World is a standalone course where well construct a virtual environment entirely from the ground up. Get ready to use basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to craft this world where self-driving cars (or anything you desire, like Pokémon :-D) can roam freely. Our primary focus will be on generating this dynamic world, with the integration of self-driving car code coming at the end.
This course serves as preparation for Phase 3, Understanding AI, where well delve into neural networks and other advanced AI techniques. By the end of Phase 3, youll comprehend the inner workings of neural networks, the importance of hidden layers, and more. But to get there, we need this sophisticated world to create complex scenarios, as our previous one was too simplistic. So, if youre eagerly anticipating neural networks, please be patient and enjoy Phase 2 in the meantime.
In this phase, youll acquire valuable skills, including mathematics, algorithms, programming, and design—skills that greatly benefited me during my PhD and my time at Microsoft. Im confident theyll boost your career as well.
Heres what youll learn:
* Building a spatial graph from scratch and creating an editor with a dynamic viewport.
* Understanding the mathematics and logic behind user-friendly interfaces in modern software.
* Generating road borders, buildings, and trees using geometry and creating a 3D illusion.
* Implementing road markings to prepare for advanced self-driving challenges.
* Enhancing the world editor for user convenience and maximizing auto-generated content.
* Loading real-world data from openstreetmap for city-based simulations.
* Creating a minimap for navigation in expansive worlds.
Have Fun! :-)
