Am working on a vehicle tracking project that involves both web and mobile interface, real-time mapping data visualization on my AngularJS frontend. In developing these Mapping functionalities, am curious to understand the best available combination of javascript libraries.
a. Is Google Maps Javascript api + d3.js combination alone is sufficient to build some unique mapping visualizations ? b. Am also contemplating the option of OpenLayers + Google Maps + d3.js. In this case I will be using Google Maps as the map source only. Is this combination going to increase the complexity of my project ? my goal is to develop some unique Mapping interfaces that are different than the usual Google Maps. c. What about the OpenLayers + Google Maps combination ? can we ignore d3js and still develop some unique mapping visualizations ?
