Urantiapedia contains a section dedicated to maps that allows the geographical content of The Urantia Book to be displayed in a more visual and useful way. The Urantia revelations contain hundreds of references to places on Earth, especially to geological processes in the past, to historical events throughout the evolution of species and races, and perhaps most notably, to the events of the Master’s life, especially his voyages, much more numerous than had been believed until recently.
Maps are more technically challenging as they involve a type of content that is not as easy to create as pages with just text and images. In addition, we want these maps, like the rest of the content, to be able to be created collaboratively, so that different users can contribute to the same maps with additions or corrections.
Maps can work in three modes:
PNG
or JPG
format with an attached [HTML image map(https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_images_imagemap.asp)], or SVG
images. Both types of images allow you to include hyperlinks so that by clicking on one place you can jump to another Urantiapedia page or to another website.iframe
to the page. These maps are much more capable than the previous ones, allowing various functionalities depending on the platform used, and all offer the option of having a continuous map in the background that can be interacted with, even in 3D. The downside is that you can’t collaborate on these types of maps, since the content is hosted outside of Urantiapedia. One of the platforms that allows this is Google My Maps.You can see more information about how the maps are organized in the project in the Urantiapedia Help.
