On a *very* preliminary basis, I have added Google maps to the ANS
database. To see what I mean go to:

http://publicserver.numismatics.org/collection/accnum/list?
kw=patara&imageavailable=yes
[all on one line, of course]

If you click on "[show map]", you get a map.

It will take a long time before we have a meaningful percentage of
mints mappable. There's lots of geographic data available on the
internet so I'm not worried about tracking down latitude and
longitude for our geographic entities. Except that it's a slow
process...

I'm sure this aspect of the site will improve but I thought it was
cool enough to send out a preliminary notice.

Best,

Sebastian.
