Nice! Suggestion on the animation 'Fly to Bern' - change how far the map zooms out depending on how far it needs to move.

Thanks! This is a really nice algorithm. We should be able to add it to ol3.

Hi these look really impressive, at the moment I'm building something with Openlayers 2, any feel for how big of a jump it is to port stuff to ol3? Are things like selectfeatures/styling the same or has all changed?
All these mapping libraries are great.
Google Maps comes with great data. Leaflet has a really nice API. OpenLayers 3 comes with loads of functionality built in.
Please check out our OpenLayers 3 examples at http://ol3js.org/en/master/examples/
Interesting ones include:
Full screen rotate and zoom: http://ol3js.org/en/master/examples/full-screen-drag-rotate-...
Animation: http://ol3js.org/en/master/examples/animation.html
60fps heatmaps: http://ol3js.org/en/master/examples/heatmap-earthquakes.html
