<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2491921, member: 56859&quot;]Over the last couple of months I&#039;ve been revamping my website.&nbsp; It&#039;s <strike>still</strike> always a work in progress but I think the improvements are worthwhile.&nbsp; There are still many coins to image (or reshoot) and load; still additional organizational tasks to be done.&nbsp; It&#039;s fun though <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Everyone here seems to like maps and we&#039;ve discussed the desirability of interactive maps before.&nbsp; Recently I stumbled upon a very slick map app, scribblemaps.com.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve made two maps:&nbsp; one for the <a href="http://www.tifcollection.com/view-all-greek-by-map" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tifcollection.com/view-all-greek-by-map" rel="nofollow">Greek coins</a> in my collection, one for <a href="http://www.tifcollection.com/roman-provincials-by-map" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tifcollection.com/roman-provincials-by-map" rel="nofollow">Roman provincial</a>.&nbsp; Please check it out and see what you think.&nbsp; There may be some markers without coins since there are many coins yet to load.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can zoom in and click on the markers or you can view the pop-ups by clicking on a numbered marker/city in the left column.&nbsp; You can hide the marker list if you want more map space.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I had more than one coin for a specific location, I stacked the markers atop one another.&nbsp; If you click the marker, you&#039;ll see the top coin.&nbsp; You can view other coins at that marker by selecting the corresponding marker number from the list.&nbsp; Maybe there&#039;s a better way to do it, but this is the &quot;first draft&quot;.&nbsp; (Actually, the second or third draft <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).</p><p><br /></p><p>The markers are numbered.&nbsp; That&#039;s good <i>and</i> bad.&nbsp; Bad because as I add coins, they will be out of order.&nbsp; For now I&#039;m leaving the listed markers in numeric order, but perhaps it would be better to cluster areas even if it means non-sequential numbers in the list.</p><p><br /></p><p>Suggestions for changes or improvements are welcome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
