Thanks to Phil at Phnomenon for his tip about the Geo Mashup Plugin, I have finally started georeferencing my posts. I will try and stay up on new ones, and will be progressively adding spatial information to the older posts. As I do this, I will be tagging them as part of the category, “Map.” So, if you select that out of the category cloud, you should be able to see all of the posts for which I have added spatial information.

So, to see a map of Cambodia with a little pin marking the spot where a picture was taken or observation made, just click on the “Where am I?” link at the upper right of the page. The maps use Google’s satellite data– so zoom right in and have a look (note: some posts are in tight clusters, so coarse spatial resolution conceals just how many points there might be!). The finest resolution is okay for many rural areas, though they provide some very-fine grained resolution for areas around Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh, which is pretty cool.

I am still tweaking some of the display settings, so please forgive the legibility problems you will inevitably encounter if you click on the pins to see the link to the related post. Hopefully they will be ironed out soon.
