Chapter 1:  Clickable Maps--Transition to 3D

---

Clickable maps offer the user the opportunity to look at the database associated with regions of the map.  The creator of the map controls what data will be shown.  Because there is some degree of user interaction, these maps have served as a transition to the fuller interaction of 3D models and virtual reality.  There are numerous clickable maps in the appendices to this document.  Similarly, animated maps (sample:  Tornado Siren Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan) also offer a glimpse of extra dimensions...through time.  They are covered fully on the website of Solstice:  An Electronic Journal of Geography and Mathematics (http://www.imagenet.org/) and are not the focus of this document.
