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 Tiles
  • 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.
