Google map and BIPS locations
How does this work?
The map above relates the content of this site to physical locations within Iran where ever possible. This has been produced by assigning latitude and longitude to the articles. So how does it work? Well follow theses instructions:
- If you click on the pushpin above, you will see a window with details and a link to that article. Leave this open to begin with.
- Now if you click on hybrid, you will get the satellite image to accompany the borders of Iran
- By moving the slider, you can zoom in and see high level satellite image of these locations
- To reset to the start of the map, press the star icon in the middle of the compass point.
The scale bar automatically updates as you zoom in on the map and there is also a collapsible pan widget in the bottom right corner for speedy movement around the map.
Any comments and feedback gratefully received. Maps put locations into context in our minds.
You can also download a Google Earth overlay file (still building this.)
