The animation is just along the lines of moving and rotating rectangles (simulating transit flows/traffic patterns), nothing fancy, but not something I see supported directly in the google maps API. Are there alternative map API'...

I am experimenting with HTML5 local storage functionality, but was frustrated to learn that the browser won't allow local storage when the file is local. My guess is that the browser (Chrome in my case, FF too) wants to see a domain rather than a file location. Has anyone here discovered a workaround for developing locally? Perhaps setti...
