Today we are launching The Illuminated Atlas of the Steem-Powered World.
This is a new map based project from the @pennsif.witness team.
Steem has many thousands of great posts about many thousands of great places around the world.
The Steem-Atlas project provides an easy interface to explore those posts.
The Illuminated Atlas of the Steem-Powered World
The Illuminated Atlas of the Steem-Powered World takes its inspiration from the old Steemit Worldmap, originally by @martibis, that ran successfully on Steem for several years before the 'big split'.
The @pennsif.witness team (@pennsif, @rexthetech, @freelance.monkey) have built this Steem Atlas with new technology and a new mapping system.
Mobile Friendly
Particular effort has been made to ensure that Steem Atlas works as well on smart phones as it does on laptops and PCs.
Ready to try...
For the initial populating of the Steem Atlas we have pulled in over 44,000 posts that were geo-located through Steemit Worldmap.
Now we would like to see new posts being added.
The Steem Atlas project is live in open beta and ready for use...
If you are writing a post about a museum, a place of worship, a restaurant, a zoo, a shopping mall, a restaurant, a park, or any where you have visited - then why not try adding it to the Steem Atlas.
You can either add your post through the Steem Atlas using markdown, or you can create the post in your usual interface (such as steemit.com) and just grab the map code from Steem Atlas to include in your post.
For either, start by clicking on the Add Pin icon at the bottom of the map...
Then zoom into the map to find the exact location of the place you are posting about.
Click on that location and a Add a Post box will pop up.
You can make your post there in markdown, and drag and drop in your images.
Or you can scroll down to the bottom of that posting box to use the Copy Code button to grab the location code to copy & paste into your post made in another interface.
If you make a post for Steem Atlas include #steem-atlas as one of the first four tags so we can look out for your post. We will be voting on the best ones 😃
PLEASE NOTE : If you post through Steem Atlas your posting key is not retained or collected by our site in anyway. It remains purely client-side in your browser.
Previous Posts
You can also use this 'Copy Code' option to add a Steem Atlas location code to your older posts.
We will be happy to see people adding good quality, relevant posts that they have made in the past.
The Road Ahead
The site is still in its beta stage and there are bound to be some bugs and oddities that will surface as the site gets used.
Please comment below with any issues you have with the site. Or contact @pennsif on Discord.
After this initial beta stage we are planning a full launch of the site early in December.
Then we will be looking to promote the site far and wide beyond Steem.
We very much see the Steem Atlas as an outward looking project.
It has great potential to attract people to join Steem.
People cannot resist a zoomable map with pins - they will always zoom in to explore places they know 😀
A Pennsif.Witness Project
The Steem Atlas has been developed by the @pennsif.witness team of @pennsif, @rexthetech and @freelance.monkey.
The team has many plans to develop and expand the Steem Atlas.
Much will depend on the feedback from users, the amount of usage, and the resources we have available.
If you would like to support the project, please consider voting for @pennsif.witness.
We believe Steem Atlas has great potential to promote Steem to the wider world and attract new people to the platform.
Please help it live long and prosper...
Thank you.

Interesting idea. The map (on your screenshots) has a touch of the earlier Anno games. I like it :-)
I took a look and saw this:
The map parts are little mixed up... it happens on Firefox and Edge.
It's beta :-D

Hi @moecki
Thanks for taking a look at Steem Atlas. Glad you like the look and feel.
I cannot replicate the broken map tile issue. It might be a loading issue.
It is only on the test server at the moment.
Try a forced refresh and see if the issue is fixed.

I refreshed the site several times... with the same result.
And the same on mobile. Strange... Is the map okay for you?
Could it be due to the calculation of the translate3d coordinates?

Hi @moecki
We have been making some changes and improvements to the site. It is now at https://steematlas.com/.
Are you still getting the same problem with the map?

Is it possible to add historical posts to the map? I'd like to add these:
I tried pinning the one from Cherry Springs to the map, but it doesn't seem like I did it right.
Edited to add: I think I get it now. I copied the code and added it to Photography: Car and Stars, but I don't see it on the map yet. How long does it take to refresh?

Cool project! I also really like the look, really great. And it's amazing where Steemians hang out, even in the Antarctic.
If it is interesting for you, after a loading time of 30 seconds (50 kbit/s line) the page ran smoothly.

Glad you like the project @michelangelo3.
And thanks for the feedback about the load time.
We have now moved the site to https://steematlas.com/ and started working on performance optimisation.
Still some more to do on that but I would be interested to see if your load time has improved now.

Congratulation, the page loads much faster now:

By the way, I was wrong, I have 50 Mbit/s here and not 50 kbit as I wrote above.

I copied the code to one of my older post but the pin doesn't show in the map. What could be the reason?
Also, wouldn't a 'search location' option more feasible, instead of manual navigation?
It's a cool project specially for travel bloggers.

Here is the link to the post.
The post was submitted from an Android phone.
There was an issue when uploading images. When I clicked the "Upload images" button, then selected the pictures, but nothing happened. So, I had to create a simulated post on Steemit and upload the images there, then insert the code into the text field on the "steematlas" website. Overall, the project is very cool and I will continue to use it, but it's more convenient to work from a desktop PC.
P.S. The posting key I paste before send a post.

Thank you for adding your post to Steem Atlas.
Don't forget to include the #steem-atlas tag so we can spot your posts more easily.
We will do some more testing on the Upload Image facility.

The map is on the domain! Hooray! It happened earlier than December. I'm waiting for the weekend and will publish something. Yesterday, I tried to post using my smartphone but couldn’t find a way to add a photo. Next time, I’ll do it from my PC.

I tried adding a pin to my previous post, but couldn't manage it. It's confusing to me. I zoomed in to the 'Murree' location in Pakistan, where I wanted my pin to be. Clicked on the add pin button on the bottom left corner and then zoomed in again to Murree. There was a pop up but I couldn't see the option of adding my previous post's link. Am I missing something here?
Also, I think it'd be extremely feasible if there's a search bar up there

Once you have clicked to locate your pin, and got the post box, scroll down to the Copy Code button at the bottom...
Grab that code and paste into your existing post in steemit.com, and save.
Your old post will then shortly appear on Steem Atlas.
Have another go and see how you get on.
