Functional

  • Asynchoronous data is pulled from Google Maps and Wikipedia
  • I'd planned to use panoramio also, but that's been folded into Google Maps
  • I looked for /good/ sources of archeological or historical sites with an API, nothing trustworthy appeared. Open source projects were... not great and varied wildly in the quality of the data.
