regional maps By clicking on the small image thumbs, you get to the first of several regional volcano maps, as part of my world volcano map project. These regional maps enhance some regions, those are so densely populated with volcanoes, that the great map cannot display them well enough. The following regional maps are planned for 2011: Indonesia, Chile, Japan. Please be patient. This map was the first one others will follow soon. Its much works and much must be tested and later be improved many times! How to use: (1) Each volcano has a number at its location on the map. (2) With that numbers of the volcano you can easily find the volcanoes name in either one of the associated registers. ( 3) register one is consisting out of Di-labels you find around in te map itself: just click on the name and you will be linked to the website of the Smithsonian institute/ USGS ( world volcanism program) where you find all kinds of informations related to that specific volcano. (4) register is another register ( a so called " collapsible panel"): just have to click on the tab " find with " Google Earth" and the register card will open.(it can be closed in the same way just by clicking in the tab). This "register card" als has a complete name list of all volcanoes on that map. Clicking on one of these names will open your Google Earth program and Google Earth will automatically navigate exacly to the longitudes and latitudes of that volcano, and you can see it on the realistic Google maps. Google Earth has some very nice good pictures and 3 D displays of many volcanoes" JUst enjoy! ( note: For this feature you need to have installed the freeware program "Google Earth first- You find a direct downo load link which leads to the original Google Earth website also in the register card!= no problem!
