It's absolutely brilliant! We have also struggled to incorporate virtual slides into our web applications using the software of other vendors. The cost is high and the usability is not very good. Thank you so much for making the code open source. I can't wait to start incorporating Google Maps API into our apps! I am really impressed by this use of virtual slides in Google Maps.

We undertook building this precisely because the viewers offered by the vendors were not extensible and didn't have features our faculty were requesting. We have setup a Google Code project site http://code.google.com/p/virtualmicroscope/ so that anyone can easily set up and localize a virtual slide viewer with minimal effort. On this site we've posted a Python script which takes Aperio images tiles them into a format usable with the Google Maps API and a sample barebones html viewer to get things started. Feedback, questions or development contributions are more than welcome. Regards, Bill Thanks for posting this.
