Interactive Mongolia

Yes, The Huge Entity is back, from Mongolia no less, and I come baring gifts...

As if viewing my holiday photos wasn't enough ecstasy for your visual cortex I have created an Interactive Map of Mongolia, via Flickr. Throughout the map are several regions which can be clicked on to take you directly to the photos from that area. It's the next best thing to actually traveling Mongolia yourself, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Check it out here - (PLUS there will be more photos to come as my traveling companion Cameron gets them online)

Or for those of you who haven't got time to travel Mongolia from your desktop here's some of my favourite snaps. Joy!

Could you tell my how you made the interactive map? I just returned from a trip and was thinking of doing the same thing. Problem is...I really don't know where to start.

if you have a flickr account its not so hard to do.

1. first set up your photos into SETS according to where they were taken

2. upload a map of your chosen location

3. add NOTES to your map

4. inside the NOTE boxes add a html link to the direct URL of your chosen set - like this:

THIS CODE - (change both '[' to '<' )

[a href="http://ADD SET URL HERE">Ulaanbaatar Photos[/a>

LOOKS LIKE THIS

Ulaanbaatar Photos

and that's it really. repeat as many times as you need. if you want any more help then please mail me directly (i culdn't ind your contact details anywhere...) good luck!

It was the NOTES! I figured it out shortly after I asked you, I was impatient and just had to.

Thanks for the response though, and love your site, btw.
