Where can I find some technical details about it? Like: is there a database to store the locations and associated text, how do you do when a location is cited more than once, how did you retrieve the text (scanning then OCR, or just manual copy)? I'm very interested because I'm involved in two geolocalization projects: <a href="http://lisbon.pessoa.free.fr" rel="nofollow">Lisbon by Pessoa</a> and <a href="http://barcelona.mendoza.free.fr" rel="nofollow">Barcelona by Eduardo Mendoza</a>. For the first one (a tourist guide of 120 pages written by Pessoa) I was able to scan the entire text and put links from the text to the map, but also the contrary (it's disappointing that Gutenkarte doesn't provide this functionality; in Litmap you give the reference number of the place which helps finding the associated text but a direct link would be better and not so difficult to implement, I guess), and also to provide an automatically-built printer-friendly version with reference numbers on the map and in the text, more technical details are given <a href="http://veronising.blogspot.com/2008/07/interactive-book-lisbon-by-pessoa.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. For the second one, I'm definitely not planning to scan the entire works of Mendoza (which are not in the public domain anyway), which explains why I'm interested if you can give me a trick about that.

It would be great to see your maps aestheticised, in a less formal way, inorder to further derange our senses. Ps If you are doing requests I would love to see, Journey to the End of the Night, Celine, contrasted with The Tropic of Cancer, Miller Hi, This is a very interesting new perspectiveyou have given us, a 2D fragmentary, time and spatial geometry of human action, memory and myth making made clear.

I'd use it to have Google map out the path the soul takes after death as described in the Egyptian Book of the Dead, complete with estimated travel times and traffic conditions.
