Gentlemen... Behold!
Friday, July 25th, 2003 12:59 pmThe code I've been working on all summer is now live. Check out Jules Verne Voyager, Jr (for the whole earth) and Earth Scope Voyager, Jr (just North America, but more in depth).
Use these tools to navigate the Earth, viewing maps with different combinations of features. For instance, if you're curious what the Middle East with country boundaries and river locations looks like at night, you can find out. Or perhaps you'd like to know the Arctic's deviation from a sphere with land boundaries. Maybe you're interested in plate tectonics of the U.S. west coast. Then click around the map to see other areas, or change the feature set at the top.
Please let me know if anything displays strangely, any bugs turn up, etc. I'm especially interested in locations where you click the map and get a map that doesn't display what you were interested in very well. I'm still working on how to determine the best map partitioning.
Enjoy!
