INTERACTIVE MAPS

As part of my assignment two I will be using interactive maps other people maybe having the same through for there work here some example to check out that may be of some help with ideas.

http://www.google.com/apis/maps/

This is a very simply animated map with it allow the user to zoom in and out of the map and left to right, up and down to find closer details, it maybe only simple but very effective. You can also more around the map with the use of the mouse.

http://www.multimap.com/

This is a far more complex map for the whole world, but it is very good, overly any map will not be of this scale but it good how it works by clicking on places and the map zooming in to show a particular area.

http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/ukinfo/

This is a simple map of the UK that has all of the university in the countries on it and it allows the user to click on the university web site they wish to visit very simple but very good the way it set up.

http://www.interactivemaps.org/

This is quiet interesting it shows where a woman been around the world giving you the chance to click on the different places then seeing some information about her trip there or images she taken there. I strongly recommend looking at this site for ideas, if using maps.

This map work different to the others by showing different pieces of information about bird flu by clicking on the different information required and then showing the information on the map.
