Map Scripting

I can’t read any of the labels or other information that shows up when I click this map’s markers. But it sure looks great and appears not to use a mapping API at all. It’s a homegrown (with the help of jQuery) “slippy map” of Moscow neighborhoods.

The same could be achieved using Mapstraction or Google Maps, but the tiles would need to be resized to the standard 256×256. Currently they’re 250×361. Maybe that makes sense in metric.
