Hello again,
 
The natural homes
<http://naturalhomes.org/themap.htm?strawbale@all@50,-40,1>  map has
reached almost 1 million visitors who would otherwise never have found
the World of Straw Bale Building. The map can be found in many languages
on about 50 websites around the World from builders to life-style
websites to Universities and private blogs.
 
The platform is available today, now (Tom at ArchiLogic, "I'll expect to
see the map by the end of business today".) and maintained at no cost to
any organisation. There is also a web application available where you
can add the houses yourself as representatives of GSBN.
 
I have solved the 'non-accurate' location problem with the bubble text
"NOTE: Location close but WRONG", which is only seen if a user opens the
icon bubble. I think this is a good enough solution without cluttering
the map with different icons or areas.
 
GSBN are welcome to use the natural homes platform. If you want to
include a copy of the map on your website the iFrame code is available
here <http://naturalhomes.org/naturalhomesmap.htm> .
 
Kind regards,
 
Oliver
