Using the map
The Travellers’ map of Indigenous art centres indicates the locations of remote art centres with a yellow circle. When you tap the circle, details about the community including a list of amenities, links to community web-sites, and notes on the community are displayed in a small block of text appearing above the map.
You can zoom into any area of the map to see more detail. As you zoom in, the geography and landscapes of the area are shown in distinctive colours, as shown below.
As you zoom in further, satellite imagery is shown. This shows the layout of the community when you are fully zoomed in.
Reliance on the internet
Although the map is internet-based, the most recent views of the map are automatically saved to your computer / tablet / phone, so if you view a community and its pop-up information shortly before travelling, then this part of the map and the pop-up information will most likely be viewable on your phone / tablet / computer while you are travelling without internet. (This is not 100% guaranteed though, so please do not rely on this for navigating.)
Email a view of the map to your friends
If you want to show someone else the view of the map that you have on your screen, simply copy the URL displayed in your browser into an email, and send that off. The recipient will be able to click on the link and see the same view of the map, without installing anything on their computer, tablet or phone.
For example, https://trilobite.solutions/indigenous/#14.55/-23.94268/132.78027
will show a view of Hermannsburg.
Indigenous communities
