SiteVision To Create “Peoples of the World” Map Application For The International Mission Board

Interactive Map will display 6,426 World People Groups and allow users to search, view details and register interest
 
Jan. 9, 2011 - PRLog -- Roanoke, VA:  The International Mission Board is an entity of the Southern Baptist Convention supporting nearly 5,000 missionaries in 153 different countries.  As part of its mission, the Board identifies People Groups – ethno-linguistic groups located around the world. These groups are not identified by country borders but rather by specific uniting characteristics. The IMB has currently identified 6,426 People Groups as untouched.

The “Peoples of the World” map will display these People Groups, and users may browse and/or search the groups by clicking the map or by using a search form.   When the user has located a particular search group, he may view details about the group as well as register an interest in the group. Once a user has registered an interest in the group, the People Group is updated and the map icon changes color.

SiteVision will create the mapping application by utilizing various technologies including the Google App Engine, HTML, data import and output routines, KML files to display geographic data in an Earth browser such as Google Earth, as well as custom styles throughout the map including the base map, markers and information windows.
