Below is a link to a geojson based map (generated from an ESRI shapefile) that shows travel time contours, so if you select a city from drop down window, it shows how long it takes to get from that spot to all other spots in the state of Utah. The trouble is that there are a lot of polygons, so maybe we’re reaching the limit of what geojson can do. Currently it only takes 4-5 seconds to load on Chrome for me, but some people are having much worse experience especially on older computers. I’ve been told we’ll have better luck with a server-based mapping system, especially if the complexity of maps gets larger. But I love the “clean-ness” of this simple map, and the flexibility to color polygons however we want.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ultimately, we want to click on a polygon, and have it redraw the map with times to all other polygons, and also refresh the bar and pie charts so you can see how many people and jobs are within 10 minutes, 30 minutes, etc. of the spot you clicked.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Any suggestions on how to manage a lot of ESRI-based features in a clean, fast way? (I’m the project manager, not a developer. My developers are good programmers, but not necessarily well informed on ideal web-based mapping strategies).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://metroanalytics.com/models/USTMapp/">http://metroanalytics.com/models/USTMapp/</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:115%'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Michael R.
