 BACKGROUND
 Maps have the potential to depict an enormous wealth of information –
far beyond their traditional use as a visual representation of
infrastructure and geographical data (e.g. the shape and position of
continents, coastlines, rivers, roads, towns, hospitals, etc. and the
distances in between).
 The biggest advantage of web maps is that they can be implemented in
normal websites and so be accessed via a normal web browser with no
need for special software or knowledge.
 Recently, increased technological access and easier usability have
opened up the potential of mapping to almost anyone with a computer
and an internet connection.
 Today’s technologies allow organisations (and individuals) to create and
publish their own maps relatively easily and inexpensively.

BACKGROUND…..
 Bing Maps by Microsoft provides several unique features that make its
services and APIs the best choice for app developers in the consumer
and enterprise space.
 There are a lot of different types of data that can be overlaid on top of
Bing Maps.
 Over the years, there is lot of great use cases for overlaying images on
top of the map.
 Some of the more common use cases include: floor plans, satellite
imagery of hurricanes or other natural disasters, historic maps, and
other maps.
 In this background, this project is aimed to overlay textual information
and multimedia material (i.e. photos, video, podcasts, historical events
etc.) linked to specific places around the globe on top of the Bing Maps
making it an interactive and content rich web map. 3
OBJECTIVES
 Making an interactive, historical, timeline based
website using dynamic map.

4
 EXISTING SYSTEM & DRAWBACK
 In the existing system, though, numerous mapping
technologies are already available online, none is
containing content based, timeline and region based
navigation which includes interactive and rich content
such as multimedia material.
 Further, computer mapping technologies is still
incredibly challenging, expensive and time consuming
and therefore often inappropriate for small and
medium sized organizations.

5
 PROPOSED SYSTEM & ADVANTAGES
 In the proposed system, we planned to transcend the
traditional map to historical timeline, content based and
region based navigation which includes interactive and
rich content such as multimedia material (i.e. photos,
video, podcasts, historical events etc.) linked to specific
places around the globe on top of the Bing Maps.
 All of these can then easily be shared globally through
the web.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION

A brave new world of online cartography is envisioned here in

which we transcend the traditional map in to historical, content
based, timeline and region based navigation which includes
interactive and rich content such as multimedia material (i.e.
photos, video, podcasts, historical events etc.) linked to specific
places around the globe on top of the Bing Maps.

All of these can then easily be shared globally through the

web.
