----------------------------Original message---------------------------- As soon as the automation department finishes some minor touches, there will be an announcement regarding a means of using a clickable map as a finding aid for USGS maps covering northern Ohio. While developing this experimental program, we searched all the sites we could find, looking for a model, but to no avail. There were plenty of interactive maps and there is John Fieber's Map Finder program (http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/mapfinder, I believe, as I'm doing that from memory), which does not have a cartographic UI. Map Finder is based, I believe, on the GEODEX source files at the AGS collection in Milwaukee, which may be the single best database of national and international maps available. Were GEODEX or Map Finder to put a clickable map interface on their programs I think they'd be what Alex Barker is looking for. Meanwhile, watch for CPL's announcement about the hypermap of northern Ohio and tell us what you think. Bill Barrow [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask]
