MAPOGRAPH.


2014.THREE TRIPS IN YEAR 2014.


This is screen shot of our trips done in 2014. 

This map is just to give you over all picture of routes followed, hotels where we stayed, restaurants where we had food and the tourists attractions we visited. But these details can not be accessed here.
Full details and description about routes, hotels stayed, restaurants where we had food and the tourists attractions visited by us can be accessed in "interactive" google map. As this map gives locations, photographs and information of the trip I call it MAPOGRAPH   
For interactive mapohraph (map)  GO HERE
When the interactive map opens, unlike the map above, you will only see a blank map. When you place the curser any where on the map, icon of palm fist weill appear. you can move this map to see any desired area by left clicking and moving the map to desired position.
Click the location of any place you are interested in. For better viewing you must zoom-in to the place. A giving the details panel will appear in the map giving the details.
After you have gone through the place , zoom-out again before going to next place.









Singapore trip can not be seen even though they are listed above the Pune Trip. This has been done purposely for  ease of explaination.
Pune trip can be seen only because it was 'selected' as shown by the tick mark in the small square near Pune Trip. If the square is selected again by clicking it, tick mark as well as information about pune trip will also vanish and map will go blank.
Selecti
'Selecting' and 'deselecting' of the trip "layer"is done by selecting and deselecting in the square near the Trip heading.
I call this map "TRAVEL - MAPOGRAPH". Simple reason being when you navigate through the map,  you get complete information about each and every aspect, that is routes followed, hotels stayed, restaurants where we had food and the tourists attractions visited by us during the trip. You can also have access / see the albums, see all and each photograph. Read their captions which are full of information, at times detailed with link to wiki or other Internet sources.
But the interaction map which has opened is blank . no routes, no nothing. To see all those things of the trip you are interested in,  please click in the square on the left of that trip. If you click Sri Lanka trip you will see full details of lanka Trip. I suggest initially open ONLY the layer of the trip you are interested . close the layer before you go to see another trip.
Ac every details ig given in  MAPOGRAPH itself, presently I do not write travel blog with text and photos, as is the normal Practice. 
May be I will resume it after I have caught up with all my "TRAVEL MAPOGRAPHs"
I know reading text and seeing photos of the trip is easier as compared to navigating through the map. In case there is doubt about how to navigate through the map, here is how :
To navigate through this map use the left vertical panel on the map :
1. The panel gives contents of the map which are self explanatory.Placing the cursor  on any item in the panel will highlight that item in the map .
2. Click on the item in panel will open an information window in the map giving information about that item. If photos about that item have been uploaded they will also show in the information window.
3. For example placing the cursor on first entry Home , Nagpur  will highlight Our home location in Nagpur, with a circle. Clicking on the same , will open a information window in the map  giving information at home.
The writing in these panels is slightly faint. Unfortunately I have not been able/ do not any thing about how to make it dark and better to read . Any help on that will be most welcome . To navigate through the info panel,use the Up/Down arrows given at top & bottom in the right margin.
2. There are various layers .Sequence of the layers is from top to Bottom.So,First layer is the start of the trip.Entries in layers show what it deals with.  
I have explained about first entry . Second entry shows train route from Nagpur to New Delhi. So on and so forth. This way Navigate through the map.  
3. Each successive layer shows totally different trip.
Please make that extra effort, you will not be disappointed.
In case required here is how to navigate through the map.
Have a nice trip.

2014 - THREE TRIPS.

Mapograph of three trips done by us in the year 2014.

What is Given above is a "Mapograph" is a screenshot of our trips done in 2014. This map is just to give you an overall picture of routes followed, hotels where we stayed, restaurants where we had food and the tourists attractions we visited. But these details can not be accessed here.
Full details and description about routes, hotels stayed, restaurants, where we had food and the tourists attractions visited by us, can be accessed in "interactive" google map. 
For the interactive map go here.
When the interactive map opens, unlike the map above, you will only see a blank map. you can move this map to see any desired area by placing an icon of palm fist on the map and moving it to the desired position.
There will be a panel on the left with heading "2014. THREE TRIPS IN 2014". Below that partial information on trips, we did in 2014. Below that list of three trips done in the year.
Left-click on "2014. THREE TRIPS IN 2014"  will open panel on-screen giving brief details about the trips done.
Left-click in the blank square before Lanka Trip will open the trip details of details and description about routes followed, hotels stayed, restaurants where we had food and the tourists attractions visited by us during Lanka trip. 
Left-click on any point will give details of that particular item For example click on Home will open panel giving full information about 'Home'. 
A similar procedure can be followed for all other locations.
I suggest that initially you see and follow only one trip at a time, ie after going through Lanka Trip close that trip details by clicking the thing again and open the next trip. 
In this way, you can follow the Trips done in 2014.
