[Ansteorra] map of the known world

[AGILLILAN at swbell.net]

Faelan,

With the direction and assistance of our Kingdom 
Seneschal, Master Modius, I have recently completed an 
updated map of Ansteorra based on zip code 
boundaries.  You may view it here:  
www2.ocgi.okstate.edu/mapsite/aprilmap  Unfortunately, 
this version is not the most recent one, as there is a 
change that has not yet made it to the website.  

If I may ask, what program are you using to create 
your maps and where are you getting the data?  The 
above map was created with ESRI's ArcMap 9.0 and 
published on the internet using ArcIMS 3 (I believe 
that's the version).  The zip code base file is from 
2000 or 2002, I honestly can't remember.  I did price 
new zip code data during the project and am extremely 
curious as to where you found new zip code data for 
$240?  The distributors I questioned were asking 
upwards of $500 just for the states of Oklahoma and 
Texas.

Also of note - at Gulf Wars last week I ran across an 
Atlas of the Knowne World being sold in one of the 
merchant booths.  It was privately published by a 
gentleman in the East kingdom.  I left my contact 
information for him as there were great discrepancies 
in Ansteorra and I would like to help correct them.  
If there is anything I can do to help in your 
endeavor, please do not hesitate to ask.

Trying not to be rude,
Gilyan Clonmacnoise

>Although I am sure Ansteorra is filled with a great 
many people and many great things I am sure of the 
intent I was sent. There is no need to broadcast the 
individuals name here as I have already let it go. It 
may have been a fluke, or a misunderstanding and the 
offer still stands to share what I am making with your 
kingdom as I am the whole known world.

veteran or newcomer. That said I would feel honored if 
you wanted to link to my maps. I did have in que 
Ansteorra to be made but with the initial reluctance 
shown I moved to other kingdoms first. My current 
order or precedence is:
> 
>Aethelmearc
>Northshield
>Atlantia

>If Ansteorra would like to be next in line that would 
be great with me and anyone willing to aid me as a 
liason from Ansteorra would be of great value.

>Also I am petitioning to the Crowns of the Known 
World for aid in my service, I can on all but a few 
kingdoms map to a county level of accuracy, which 
although great depending on the kingdom can still 
leave alot of confusion on what group to contact. To 
answer this need I want to complete my work to a 5 
digit zipcode level. To do this I need to purchase a 5 
digit zipcode map of the entire USA, I have broken 
down the cost per kingdom (16 US Kingdoms) and found 
that for the small kingdom donation of $15 each I can 
afford to purchase this much needed resource. 
Hopefully Ansteorra will be able to join the kingdoms 
already supporting me in this effort, if they did I 
would provide reciepts of purchase, and any other 
proof to ensure the use of funds. Also any kingdom 
that donates will get mention on my webpages.

your offer sounds very

way. Email is a flat

normally send them to our

together on such projects.
