Preserved Topic: Planetary Location Map idea ]|[ (Page 1 of 2)

Previous topic can be found here: http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum1/HTML/001425.html

Let's continue here...

The planetary locator is open for business. (IE only, sorry).

If you'd like to be added, to make it as easy on me as possible, please post in this thread with your latitude and longitude in decimal format (no minutes or seconds please) with no more than two decimal places necessary. Negative latitudes are south, and negative longitudes are west.

If you'd like a little help finding your coordinates, try this widget out.

For example:
'linear', 38.97, -94.67 would be my entry.
I will include anyone who cares to submit their coordinates.

Technical notes: this will only run in IE due to extensive use of the innerHTML method. Damn near the entire document is generated by the scripts. Netscrape will just show you a pretty map of the world. This uses the Mercator coordinate transformations I posted in the earlier thread. There was one sign error in the code as posted, so if you are interested, please refer to the updated code in this version.

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

woooohoooo!

We're up to date again, keep rolling them in.

mr.maX, The link to the original topic (episode I) is gone, and I can't find it in the search. Any thoughts?

Hey - this thing needs a zoom feature. Steve and Slime are so close it's like we're sleeping together or sumthin'

This is like sharks teeth!

One gay Steve leaves and another moves in to take his place!

hehehehehehehehehehe (I need Max's googlie eyes)

Linear, when I was starting this third topic, I also tried to find the first one, but without success. I've looked at the archives, but couldn't find it. BTW Something similar happened with the Server-Side board, where a lot of old messages simply dissapeared...

Oh, and for Krets...

Lat: 42.597914
Long: -83.148829

It does need a zoom feature, or at least a larger map. I wanted to see how things shook out with as many inmates as possible before tweaking up. Interestingly, the code will work for any size map. There are three constants that define the map, and as long as the aspect ratio remains the same, the map can be freely resized. The current gif is 30k, and I didn't want to make it larger without a good reason.

Since this is a 1600 pixel wide map, and the earth is about 8000 miles in circumference at the equator, the pixels are 5 mile squares (at the equator).

this is so cool, i'm the first guy from the uk. Its good to see that there are members in europe, big up the old world. Hehe.

Kickass thing you got here, Linear!

correction from allwyn's list - i am on maui at 20.85 N, 156.33 W

just curious.. did you get all of the coordinates from the previous thread?

~velvetrose

I have the list, but I haven't installed those folks because in some cases there were fairly large discrepancies. That resulted in several people having the same coordinates, which is a case I didn't want to try to resolve.

I'm asking everyone to resubmit in the interest of accuracy. Sorry.
