World Heritage Map (free)

UNESCO World Heritage Map browser front-end.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) helps countries ensure the protection of their natural and cultural heritage by allowing them to

register those locations with the organization.

This app is a basic map front-end browser including search for the site. The place markers

on the map are clustered when the number of markers is greater than 10 points of interest within a certain radius. To see a particular place of interest just zoom into the location until you see the place mark icon (not the cluster counter). Then click on the icon to get a scroll-able description of the site. You may get further details by clicking the links in the popup to go directly to their site.

The search form is accessed by clicking on the magnifying glass icon in the toolbar. This page allows you to match by name or country for a site in their database. If a direct match is found for the site you entered in it will draw up a page directly from their site in the browser area of the app. If a country name is entered in a list of matching sites will be returned. To drill down to the details scroll over on the table to the link in the details column, and click the URL "see details" in that row you are interested in.
