IndyJunior Flash-based Travel Mapper

Have you ever wanted to see a map of your journeys, like the ones used to express travel time in old movies? After admiring the map on Dan Washburn’s Shanghai Diaries, I tracked down Bryan Boyer’s IndyJunior. Indy Junior is a simple Flash application that you can use to put a clickable travel map on your site. You create an XML file listing the latitude, longitude, date, and optionally notes and URL, for each place you visited, and the app will plot the locations on the map, with lines between them. As far as I can tell, the level of detail is limited to country outlines, but as long as you’re traveling far enough, the results should still look interesting.

    Unfortunately, I don’t know if I can help with that—perhaps you could take a look at the Shanghai Diaries site I linked above for pointers, or try to contact Bryan himself?
