At the same time as the applet was in active use, we built (credit for the good parts goes to Joe Sirott) a server-side map that required two clicks to mark a rectangle. Joe's implementation had a nice Active X interactive selection, but again we could not use it on a enough browsers to deploy it. Joe has since built other nice map widgets. I built the "two-click" version. It worked. On all browsers, but as one user put it so eloquently: "It's not draggable, dude".
Next up was a long experiment with Google Maps. I built a widget that allowed click, hold and drag drawing of rectangles, horizontal and vertical lines using markers on the corners and mid-points. It worked. Sort of. I could get it to work fine, but I was slow and patient. When users used it the response was so sluggish they the were immediately frustrated. Another killer was the projection. We deal mostly in global data on a rectangular equal-area projection. The Google maps modified Mercator looked terrible on the global view and the selection scaling when dragging a rectangle above 60 north was dramatic and disconcerting.
Enter OpenLayers, the GWT-OpenLayers project and a client that said rightly that the Google Maps implementation was s!@$. I built yet another map widget. I think it works well. Editing the selection is not as slick as was with the Java applet and the strict modal interface is not ideal, but I haven't heard of any browser compatibility issues. And eliminating those was the goal all along.
The OL Map Widget is available on Google code. There is an example deployment for JavaScript and a deployment using GWT and a Flash-based tutorial video there along with the code.
No doubt this would be more interesting (slightly less boring?) if I had links to all the previous map implementations, but it seems like too much to figure out how to find or deploy stable examples of each.
