OpenSwitchMaps (Manifest v3)

Map service switcher as Chrome Extension

This is a fork from . Kudos for the great work!! Thanks!

Motivation for fork (New Features & Fixes)

• Chrome Manifest v3
• Some cleanup done. Added new maps.
• Chanced the Categories, because some grew to big, while others remained small.
• Switched behavour in the Map Popup: Left Click now opens in new Tab, Middle Click opens in same Tab
• Sorted the Maps by Name
• Show Descriptions while MouseOver in Options Popup
• Existing Extension was listing the Categories in Columns. This limited the number of Categories. Also was a waste of space with smaller Categories. Solution: Render Categories in rows
• Some issues with v3 upgrade triggered removal of Firefox Browser Support, now Chrome only.
• For Performance/Usability Reasons, many map services where removed

You are missing maps?

• Raise an issue in github. I might add it, if I like the map.
• But: I will DEFINITLY NOT add all the maps of the original Repo from tankaru.

You still want that map added?

• Fork the code, add it yourself.
• I didn't change the code segment, that lists the maps. It is easy to add your map, if you know Javascript. Or github copilot 😉

Install

you have 3 options ...

a) from Chrome Marketplace

• Chrome webstore
• Opening the Dialogs on first click take some seconds to show up. Be patient. :)

b) Load unpacked dist directory from github

1. Download the /dist Directory from github (Clone the Code or Code -> Download ZIP) to a Directory of of your choice
2. Add to your Chrome/Firefox
   • Chrome: chrome://extensions/ -> Load unpacked

b) from source code
