Textual DB crawler PHP, MySQL, Ruby, SQLite
Map Engine GMaps API v2, custom (messy) map helpers v3 API, geometry library
Map layers Own generated polylines, points Fusion Tables
JS Engine Mess :) No 3rd party library More structured, ordered + jQuery
UX, page speed, look’n’feel OK-ish (in the beginning) IT ROCKS BIG TIME !
Graphics DB tools Geomedia + swisstopo layers QGIS, OpenLayers, GMaps, GEarth, etc
DBs integration tools FME, ODBC, MS Access :) Ruby, GDAL
Versioning Power of CTRL-Z Git - master/dev/sbb/cfr
