Please try to click on either, or both, North America and/or Europe for closeup views.
If you click elsewhere on one of the faces of the world you will go to the coordinate
submission page. Clicking on the title will take you to a current list of people.
Keep in mind there has been no new additions, if you haven't sent your location in,
please think about doing so.

Thankyou.
Bob

Bloody Northern Hemisphere bias :-)

I tried: 
Latitude choices: Northern Hemisphere, No Value
(Southern Hemisphere is on the page rather than in the menu, other menus
suffer the same problem.)

I'm at:
42deg 40min S, 147deg 20min E

I use POV Ray:
Not Enough
(Not enough time)

I'm not an IMP team member.

So, anyone further south?


Have Fun
Martin

Yes, I knew I should have mentioned that the image map I made for the browsers is
supposed to be for Netscape 2.* or higher and I'm guessing about IE 3.* and higher
also.
It's just that I went on the typical naive assumption that most people would be using
one which is compatible enough to do the linking. I wouldn't dare use Java Script but
I
might possibly do the more usual "links" method instead, especially if several people
can't use the image map as is. Aw heck, I'll try links to those zoomed in views
elsewhere anyway. I don't want frustration to occur if I can help it.
Btw, there's going to be a magnified look at Australia later. Main reason is because
of
the Melbourne folks. So don't get discouraged you upsidedowners (just kidding), it's
just that there will always be the likelyhood of such close markers that won't always
be
separable so don't expect zooms of zooms please.

Hi again Bob, sorry to be taking so much of your attention ...

and higher also.

The weird thing is most of that stuff works fine in Cyberdog (it doesn't
like progressive JPEGs, nested tables or JavaScript, and animated GIFs
need to be done 'right' as far as refresh options or they look awful)

Image map worked fine.

Methinks you've grabbed the wrong end of the stick - My problem was that
once on the location submission page, the pop-up menus were only getting
the first list entry, the rest were being dumped onto the page.

Again I dunno why Cyberdog would behave this way and Netscrape properly
(first time I've seen CD do it, so I assumed that it was the page...),
might have a look at the source...

Ah-ha - Each of your menus has items that look like this:
<Option>value<BR>

Lose the <BR> and Cyberdog (and possibly other finicky browsers) should
be fine - least that's the major difference between your menus and, say,
altavista's.

>Btw, there's going to be a magnified look at Australia later. Main
reason is because of

Excellent :-)

>the Melbourne folks. So don't get discouraged you upsidedowners (just

Dunno that I'd do it for them :-)
(parochialism alive and well down under)

>just that there will always be the likelyhood of such close markers
that won't always be
>separable so don't expect zooms of zooms please.

Not good enough! :-)

Have Fun
