Klokan has worked closely with David Rumsey for many years. It may have been for his cataloging?

"I have a map of the United States... actual size.

It says, "Scale: 1 mile = 1 mile."

I spent last summer folding it."

Out of curiosity:  does anybody know why they built the tool in the first place?  It seems like an unlikely group to produce so many MARC formats unless they happened to be in a bar with Terry Reese one night.  Maybe I need to start going to some of those European map conferences.

Angie,



Thank you so much for attempting to herd us cats to resolve this difficulty.  I agree that $3000 out of individual pockets is not a likely outcome, no matter how useful.  Sigh… Well, thank you Google for changing your API ☹ I suppose it was inevitable.  Press on!



Cheers,

Louise

Subject: Bounding Box Survey results



My Bounding Box survey indicates that only 16 people are willing to fill out my surveys (pththth). The majority use Bounding Box daily. Participants are interested in contributing money to Klocken Technologies.



However, I misunderstood the information from Klocken Tech. They charge $200 an hour and to fix Bounding Box would cost $3,000. Given that, I think it's unlikely we can raise that kind of money.



Bounding Box does still work. The search feature is inconsistent but the "select" tool works great. To locate obscure places one will need to use another resource first (gazetteer, google maps, etc.) and then return to Bounding Box to acquire the coordinate data.



Look closely at the options for coordinate display (lower left). The formats include:



MARC

MARC RDA

MARC Aleph

MARC BTLS

MARC VTLS RDA

MARC OCLC

MARC OCLC DEC

MARC KP-SYS

Archives

DublinCore

KML

GEOJSON

OGC WKT

CSV

CSV RAW

TSV

ISO 19139

FGDC



It's a very useful resource.
