Markus,
It looks great!!! Just one note - at the Ottawa area Robert Agnel and me
took the pano of the same bridge (just from the different shores) but dots
on the map are too far from each other. I guess my coords are right 'cause
my/Rob's and Jim Watters' sites are indeed as close to each other as it
looks at the map. But Rob's dot went somewhere to Quebec side. This river is
not that wide! :-)
Other:
- IMHO it would be better to have the world image a bit lighter. Just one
concern - the dots should be clearly visible anyway. Now it's very easy to
overview an area and the whole globe. Very impressive geography by the way!
- I am not sure that larger dots in the zoomed map would be better. It may
cause overlapping and you may have a lot of headache resolving the issue and
building sub-menus for the close spots (NYC, Ottawa areas etc). It's not a
problem to aim and click a small dot (folks, do not drink too much beer
before seeng the page, eh!) ;-)
A lot of thanks to the team!
Alex
