New Map Features

March 3, 2008 Christopher
As some of you have already noticed we've added a couple of new features to the maps. First of all the embeddable maps got a bit of loving and are now a bit cleaner and operate much faster. We've also added a link to our map help page on the embeddable maps. This contains the answers to some of the most common questions we get about maps, making it easier to use the maps. We will be continually updating the maps help page with common questions we get.

Secondly, we've added a couple of new features the the large map on the stats pages; you can now view the map in a few different display modes. Heat mode and normal mode are still there and operate as before, just a bit quicker. Cluster mode displays the map points as circles where the larger the circle the more people have visited your site from that location. Finally, we've also added day/night mode where we show, in real time, the portions of the world that are currently in night time or day time. This can be cool to watch as you can quickly see the night owls browsing your site!

Check out a sample of the new detailed map features!

Stay tuned for future upgrades to the site and maps...
