  • The title text has easter egg functionality: pressing it loads up 13 particularly useful layers. However, everything functions on a toggle effect, so if any of the 13 layers that are switched on by this click are already on, they'll be switched 'off'. (That's why it's an easter egg, for the moment.) The layers include all buildings (i.e. all buildings are grayed on) and then coloured squares for all TRPs, and all landmarks (i.e. forts, the zoo and all large buildings).

Known map incorrectness

Please inform me of any incorrect data you may find.

Known bugs/issues

  • Always starts out blank, so some users don't think it works. (Hint: click the buttons.)
  • Instruction by experimentation: all buttons are toggles.
  • No "clear" button. Browser refresh does the same job.
  • The easter egg toggle problem described above.

Planned updates

  • Fix the easter egg toggle problem.
