The map has had a major overhaul which includes a lot of new functionality. The reasons for the overhaul were: a lot of the files were bloated, which caused slow download speeds; the interface was a little sloppy; there was limited area for extensions in the old system.

So, what's new?

• Completely new interface, written from scratch
• An accordian has been added on the left for ease of navigation
• Mouseover information panels
• Tile overlays instead of raw data processing
• Use of the Gaia framework for Ajax capability
• Printable details
• User-defined KML layers
• User comments area
• Photo layer from Panoramio
• Now defaults to the Terrain layer
• Data exports from the map
• Right click menu on the map
• Automated Amazon reading lists

What's in the pipeline?

• Multiple external overlays using Tile
• Street Views
• Google Earth API overlay
• User contributions via the map

Now that the map has a solid base I will be adding more tools and data over the coming weeks and months.

Hope you like the new look
