Yesterday I used separate maps for every trip. These are thrown in the trashcan and have today been replaced by a global map. The global map can be found in the top part of this homepage´s first page. I believe this new map is pretty easy to use and understand but for the interested I still will write some words about it:

PICTURE 1
All dots on the map are places I have visited.
Blue dot means there are some kind of media uploaded from this location. If you click it you will see video clips, sound clips, pure texts or whatever. Is the dot's color is gray nothing is uploaded from that location. In other words gray dots are not clickable. The yellow dot shows where the latest entry where uploaded from. It's of course clickable!
The half-transparent white boxes are zoomable areas. Click them to zoom. (In my old map module zooming was not possible so in some places the lots of dots were placed very tight together. In small Taiwan on the big east asia map it got really bad. Definately better now.)

PICTURE 2
If you zoomed by clicking a half-transparent white box it might be nice to zoom out. Zoom out by using the links on top of the map. The picture shows an example from the Swedish language version. Clicking "World Map" (Världskarta) makes you zoom out from the Eastern Asia Map ( Östra Asien).

PICTURE 3
As from today all entries associated with a physical place in the world got a "placelink". As you can see on the example on picture 3 that entry is uploaded from Taichung in Taiwan in Asien. Click on Taichung to see all entries from this place.

Så det är det här du suttit med på sista tiden ;). Taggar du alla inlägg/media med globala koordinater eller är det mer en "position i kartan"?

Jag har en databas liggande med >10,000 platser och deras koordinater som jag först hade tänkt använda för den här kartapplikationen. Jag nöjde mig dock med att, åtminstone i denna första version, köra med hemmagjorda kartpositioner = X- och Y-positioner baserade på en världskarta.
