Fun with maps III, more personal fun

Anna & Stani,

First of all thanks, the new and improved map looks good and has lots of exciting new features.

I did most of the testing with Firefox and Safari, but as far as I can tell IE7 works as well.

The time it takes to load is fine, way less than a second, at least for me. Sometimes a few "tiles" take a little longer to load, but all together it is fast enough.

Yes, a selector "by hike date" would be nice, other than that I can't really think of anything else one would need.

If I click on an icon (made with love :-) on the map, a mountain for example, and then go to a page of a corresponding hike report and then use the "back" of the browser to get back to the map again, it displays the default map again and not the way I left the page. Is it possible to "cache" this state somehow, so if I get back to the page it is the way I left it?

Clicking on “search” does not work only hitting “enter” from the search field actually performs a search.

A "reset button" which sets the selectors to it's default values would be nice too.

Group? From the 3 values one can select, there is only "user" visible, did you want to give other choices too?

If you choose to display for example only 360's hikes and then click on the icon (made with love :-) you not only get the hikes of 360 but all for that mountain. Is that the way you intended it to work or should it only give the list according to what you entered as the criteria?

Hope this helps to improve the map even more.

360,

Thank you!

We did a part of the corrections today:
- Photos and reports open in a new window
- Added a button for the search
- Added a special marker for selected search result
- Group translated in English

The other suggestions will be added too later.

Tschüss
Anna&Stani

...that was quick, thanks.

> added a special marker for selected search result

I'm not sure I understand what this is, can you explain?

360

Search Ramosch on the map and then it should be clear :-)

OK I see now what you mean, that's actually very helpful! (... and I didn't even ask for it :-)

Done:

- reset button, except the translation: how to say "reset" in german?
- only "your" hikes and photos in infowindow
- new "order by" field, already works by not very precise yet (if you choose only your points and order by hike count, it will order by global hike count for the point. to fix)
- added french difficulties for climbing too

Cool, you implement faster than I can test... :-)
Reset = "Zurücksetzen" in German

Now that I'm not only playing but actually using the new map for some planning too, I noticed another thing which might be of interest - hopefully not just for me: It would be nice if one could select multiple activities or types as the selector, for example: give me all peaks and passes, or, show me all snowshoe and ski activities.

Just another thought of a humble user... 360

Today development:

- select by hike date range
- corrected problem with "order by"

I would like to add a select by region.

Your propositions are interesting. Actually, how do you use the map for planning?

Thanks
Anna

I'm not sure "select by region" is actually necessary, because one works with the map here. So if you want a specific region you just zoom into that region.

How I used it for planning: A friend asked me to do a snowshoe tour with him. Because the risk for avalanches was rather high I wanted to find reports of other hikrs about snowshoe hikes WT1/2 and easy ski tours for example.
