The WEB => MAPS glue:
A working specimen of an X3 script that connects a CW web page with
the Google Maps online digital mapping system (http://maps.google.com)
The following programming codes have been developed in 2009 by T. Matthew Ciolek for
the "Mapping Buddhist
Monasteries (MBM) 200-1200 CE Project" (http://monastic-asia.wikidot.com).

NOTE:
The X3 programming script listed below uses a web page to display a fully functional electronic map centered on an area in North-West Asia. The map itself is generated within the Google Maps environment by means of an X4 script (see Appendix 6). The resultant electronic map offers three toggled map-types, is seamless, is scaleable and displays interactive-links to electronic documents (from one or more www and/or wiki-servers) residing *outside* of the Google Maps environment. The initial (= default) map-type is set to display multicoloured clickable symbols that are superimposed over the TER (terrain) map.

The Electronic Atlas of Buddhist Monasteries
of South Asia, SE Asia, Central Asia, and East Asia
between approx. 200 CE and approx. 1200 CE.
Work in progress
Legend:
* White circles: Clusters and groups of monasteries.
* Yellow: Theravada monasteries.
* Green: Sammitiya, Sarvastivada & Mahasanghika monasteries.
* Red: Mahayana monasteries.
* Magenta: Vajrayana monasteries.
* Blue: Indeterminate Buddhist tradition.
* Pink lines: major trade routes 200-1200 CE, a provisional mockup.
Note: This map is a work in progress. All geographical coordinates of the listed monasteries are, at this stage, approximations - tmc, 28 Jul 2010.

MAP D. MONASTERIES CENTRAL-CENTER (= areas between Lat 26.0 - 38.99 N and Long 72.0 - 99.9 E),
