Hi all.

Did anyone had a look at Accordance?
http://www.accordancebible.com/

They have views where you can have see and browse in maps of the area of middle east.
You can zoom in and out. There are topographical maps as well.
Paths and places where important things happened are simulated and can be switched on and off. You can create your own layers over the maps and enter places if you want.

Something like this I would like to have. Not now but this is a nice feature. I do not know if SWORD can hable this as a module. This goes IMO way beyond a bible text module library. That's why I said I want to have something like this as a plugable view.


Best regards,
Manfred

By maps, I presume you mean images, and images have been supported in
Sword for years. I presume it isn't implemented in JSword yet since I
don't think we have any real modules with images, so it wouldn't be much
of a priority.

Well, I think you have encouraged me to help develop BibleDesktop and
JSword.
Congratulations! Can I offer you every encouragement. BibleDesktop has great potential - I am recommending it on the NET bible for Sword site. And DM is a lovely guy to work with. One thing I mentioned a while ago was the need for BibleDesktop to open with the same passages displayed
as when it was shut down.  DM said that this is on his to-do list.
Paralell view you mention - and this really is essential. The NET bible
includes maps and so far we have no way to handle these on Sword
although provision for them has been talked about for years.

I'm sure you'll make a big difference to the whole project.

God bless,
Barry
