New maps in my coins section

Hello.

Numista could have another options of maps in the my coins section.

For example: the user could select the continent which he want to see the coins that he have in his collection, or all the continents.

Another amazing feature would be having medieval maps, or ancient maps the see the issuers in the collection by century.

Best regards

One exemple showing only the european countries.

Easy to see whithout zoom.

For a larger map you can always click on maximize. You can also edit the length of that one even if your native display resolution is smaller.
HERE it is 4000 pixel wide.

If you can provide detailed, copyright free, vectorized maps of antiquity and medieval times there is a tiny chance … if not this will never happen. 

This was suggested multiple times, e.g. in https://en.numista.com/forum/topic49599.html

Would be nice, but difficult to implement.

By the way, there is a section with a nice map of ancient Greece, but it shows all issuers, not issuers of coins owned by user. It is quite imaginable that the same map template could be used in the dashboard.

It would be amazing a map like that of ancient Greece for notgeld cities for exemple.

That would be amazing idea , if it hard to implement how about adding a year filer to show for example 1800 to 1900 coins only … how About that ?

Yes. Amazing idea. It is the first step for a map of each century. It could be implemented in small steps. For exemple one map of each decade from the more modern ones to the more ancient ones. Like the maps here in this site:

I believe GeaCron is a for-profit organization and as such would obviously not provide copryright free material.

I am a little bit confused why do we need this ! if we just make a range filter that shows specific years on the map, and using the issuers we can generate new maps, for specific era? what am I missing ?! 

Who is ‘we’ and how will the be made?
Do you mean we take the modern map we currently use and just put date ranges on every issuer for every territory they historically claimed? This would be the easiest solution and it would still be a gargantuan task to create such a list and it would still be highly inaccurate with all these modern borders.

If you imagine something more like GeaCron which would be the nicest solution, there is a reason they want to get paid for the use. I very much doubt even with the Numista community we could replicate something very similar (it would be nice to be proven wrong but I won't hold my breath).

I was very enthusiastic. I apologize, by 'we' I meant the admin team, though I consider myself part of Numista as well. :D

As for the ranges, we ( sorry again, I meant the Admins) do not need to add them, they can easily automate them based on the earliest coin date and last coin date linked to that issuer. As for the borders, I agree with you the modern borders would not be accurate. However, that is what Numista currently have, each country has successor and predecessor, the admins can link all issuers to the last successor (i.e. modern borders). 

All I am thinking of is automation by the data we have if possible.  It is just an Idea that I think it may be nice, but I might be wrong :D.
