[sword-devel] JSword and development progress

[Manfred Bergmann]

Hi all.

Did anyone had a look at Accordance?
http://www.accordancebible.com/

They have views where you can have see and browse in maps of the area  
of middle east.
You can zoom in and out. There are topographical maps as well.
Paths and places where important things happened are simulated and  
can be switched on and off.
You can create your own layers over the maps and enter places if you  
want.

Something like this I would like to have. Not now but this is a nice  
feature.
I do not know if SWORD can hable this as a module. This goes IMO way  
beyond a bible text module library. That's why I said I want to have  
something like this as a plugable view.


Best regards,
Manfred
