Experimenting with OpenLayers 3 animation...
Note: This project requires OpenLayers 3 to be installed at the same base directory.
Next Steps
- how to display marker popups...?
- I think best UI is to show popups for all markers on the map view
- activate popups for all markers after zoom in
- de-activate popups when zooming out
- adjust duration of animation based on distance travelled
- experimenting with rotating map view going to/from New Zealand
- still needs some tweaking, might experiment with 180 degree rotation too
- having issue in which New Zealand flips before rotation and animation begin...
- alternative basemaps...
- might look at Apple iPhoto basemap (only works up to z14)

- which I got from here: http://madrona2d.labs.ecotrust.org/layer_manager/demo/
- do a little refactoring...encapsulate methods and variables better...
