A Dynamic Digital Map (see http://ddm.geo.umass.edu/) is a cross-platform stand-alone "presentation manager" program that displays and links maps, images, movies, data and text, like map explanations and field trip guides. A user, viewing a map in a DDM, sees a thematic map, containing camera icons and map symbols that link images, movies and text or analytical data related to those locations. DDM content, and access to it, is summarized by a searchable lists or "Indexes" of Images, Maps, and Articles opened from buttons found on the Home Screen. The Home Screen also provides an "Index Map" that graphically illustrates the coverage of maps contained in the DDM, and links to them. Since the DDM’s inception in 1995, the cross-platform programming environment LiveCode has undergone major updates: this talk will summarize those that have been incorporated into the open-source LiveCode DDM-Template that interested parties may use to make their own DDM.
