BibleMap.org integrates Google Maps and the ESV text to create an interactive Bible atlas.Understand? You can easily make your own link by adding any place name or Scripture reference. Here, try this link that I made up to go with this week's sermon text: http://www.biblemap.org/#Matthew_4
BibleMap.org recently added two major features to enhance the usability. Users are now able to link directly to any location or chapter, allowing bloggers, pastors, teachers, or general students of the Bible to send people directly to a biblical location or chapter on Google maps. Also, as you browse the site it now continues to
regenerate the URL so you can easily send people directly to a biblical location.
Here’s the format for the links:
http://www.biblemap.org/#Corinth
or
http://www.biblemap.org/#Joshua_12
You should see a window with the entire ESV text of Matthew 4, with the names of cities and other geographical features highlighted (Nazareth, Capernaum, and Jerusalem in red; Jordan in blue), corresponding to markers on the map.
Note: The site says it works best in the Firefox browser, and I found that to be true. Microsoft Internet Explorer had trouble when I zoomed in and out, while Firefox worked like a charm.
