Earthquake map pop-up

[gluepack]

Not that I don't have anything else to do but...

My earthquake script shows a world map followed by an edited rss feed listing all those within a certain distance and emphasising those that occur within Bulgaria...
http://www.jerbils.info/saratoga/wxearthquake.php

I'm getting tired of invoking Google Earth/Wikimapia to enter the lat/long coordinates to see where they have occurred. Can anyone point me at some code that will enable me to just click on the coordinates in the item and pop-up a map showing the location? There are thousands for the reverse, i.e. click on a map to get coordinates.

Update: Oh, I forgot, I have a "where we are" script that invokes Earth via Wunderground. I can probably adapt that.

Well, I didn't do a popup I did a new tab.

I'm not sure what source people use for earthquakes now. I have been using http://www.emsc-csem.org's RSS feed for a while.

If interested, I use the following (modified) template for formatting RSS feeds (excuse the comments, I have modified them to make them less objectionable)...

Code: Select all

            var html = '';

				html += ";font-size:9px\" target=\"_blank\">" + items[i].title + "</a>"; /* set link to open in new tab */

				if (locparts[4] == "W") {locparts[3] = "-" + locparts[3];} /* if longitude West make it negative */
				/* create link to wikimapia and surround lat/long */
				opstring = opstring.replace(location,'<a href="http://www.wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=' + locparts[0] + '&lon=' + locparts[3] + '&z=11&m=w" target="_blank">' + location + '</a>');

			             }
            $(e).empty().append(html);
        }
    });
}

...and I invoke it and format it to three columns width using...

Code: Select all

<script src="rssyex.js" type="text/javascript"> 	</script>
<style> 
.newspaper
{
-moz-column-count:3; /* Firefox */
-webkit-column-count:3; /* Safari and Chrome */
column-count:3;
-moz-column-gap: 3px;
-webkit-column-gap: 3px;
column-gap : 3px
width:820px;
}
.newspaper table {
	-moz-column-break-inside: avoid;
    -webkit-column-break-inside: avoid;
    break-inside: avoid-column;
	margin-left:auto;
	margin-right:auto;
	}
</style>

...and...

Code: Select all

<div class="newspaper" style="width:820px">
		<p id="feedPanel" rssurl="http://www.emsc-csem.org/service/rss/rss.php?typ=emsc&min_lat=10&min_long=-30&max_long=65" feedcount="42" style="margin-top:0px" >
		</div>

So, basically, I have my country (Bulgaria, in this instance) highlighted in red, boxed and with white text (you'll have to find that in the code to change it but it is pretty obvious) and the title of each event takes you to more detail while the lat/long is selectable and links you to Wikimapia.

Oh, I just tried it with tor to see if other than my IP address worked and Wikimapia came up with 0/0 location. So, either that is a problem with tor or it means Wikimapia knows me and that is why it works for me.
Update: Well, it worked on my tablet via GSM so it is either a problem with tor or Wikimapia knows me on my tablet, too. Perhaps someone could check my link and tell me if Wikimapia works for them...

Working OK from here, as far as I can tell.

Thanks, must be a problem with tor.
