about this map
this map is generated from source code. nothing on this map is hand-placed, rather a program generates an approximation of the city and places the camps.

i created this as fast as possible in about 2 days to make it useful for people before they got to the playa.

this is a rough work, in progress. i have some things to work out:

known problems

• some camp names can overlap
• i haven't put village details in yet
• there is too much information to put in one image or pdf. hence the interactive viewer
• i had to put the plazas and center camp details separate from the main map. they are currently placed at random
• i will be updating this site daily with your suggestions until i leave for the playa.
  email me below and/or check back daily.
• don't forget to come by for pancakes. we're in plaza 9.

revision

• 20070815 - first version for public consumption
• v1.1 - fixed clockwise-ness problem! mouse pointer is red/green now
• v1.2 - added potty camp and s,m,l,xl option. added zooms images

Plaza Zooms

code
the source code that creates this map is released here open source. i fully encourage people to try and make this more visually pleasing. i am after-all more an engineer than artist :-)

you can mess with the code in one of two levels of severity:

• download and install graphviz. modify brc07ascode.dot (graph) file and use graphviz to regenerate the svg file.
• modify the perl program brc07ascode that creates brc07ascode.dot and follow the above step

download
please take this and run with it. you can use it as a viewer on your own computer, or to try to make improvements :

brc07ascode_1.2.zip

technical details

• i wrote a program "brc07ascode" in Perl that creates a layout of the city based on its concentric circles. you could use this program to easily explore possible layouts of BRC if you so desired.
• this program also takes as input the official placement page from bmorg
• the output of this program is a graphing language called dot. the dot file is then fed to AT&T's graphviz program which generates a PNG (image) and an SVG (vector graphic).
• ZGRViewer is the java applet above that displays an SVG file. Click the [about] box above for credit.
• i made an image version of the map, but this uses a lot of bandwidth and isn't too readable.
• you could also try viewing the SVG file if your browser supports this natively.

• Burningman DJ Calendar - Chad Norwood
• an image version of this map
• official placement page from bmorg
• official map of BRC
• Earth Guardians page with *great* map of the city, and fine detail on the center camp and plaza areas

• potty camp is denoted by blue lines
• search! enter a word in the search box like "art" and hit return a bunch of times to search through city.
• pan + zooom! drag with left mouse button to pan. use your mousewheel or Page-Up/Page-Down to zooom
• lenses! Go to the top-left of the map
• click a node with left mouse button to zoom to that node.
• you may need to install a newer java HERE.

take it with you
until i find a good way to make a printable version you can take this to the playa with you by downloading the archive. unzip it somewhere and open index.html in a browser.
ps. you're a geek for bringing a computer to the playa. :)
