Info

• Author: --Funt Solo ^QT
• Created: June 2006
• Last updated: September 2008
• Current release: v1.4 beta
• Best viewed at minimum 1280*1024 resolution. (Oh noes!)
• Tested in Firefox 2, Internet Explorer 7, Opera 9, Safari OSX.

Features

Example showing highlighted malls.

• The ability to choose to display/not display different building and/or empty block types.
• Suburb name overlay.
• Mobile phone mast overlay.
• Shows total potential Necronet coverage (and therefore permanent Necronet blind spots):

• The new title text has easter egg functionality (advertised by the title text seen on mouse hover): pressing it loads up layers I find particularly useful and nearly always have on anyway. (This is saving me 13 clicks every time I use it.)

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.
• Rare (seen once) Firefox rendering bug doesn't apply the CSS on the first load. Therefore, buttons all appear to the right of the map, and all other browser default styles are applied (i.e. the page looks a mess). Refresh immediately fixes the problem. Assume this is now fixed using new renderFix() function. (That function was messing with the maximise window setting in Vista, so I commented it out.)
• Tikhon General Hospital in Dartside is mistakenly marked as a factory.

Planned updates

• Add island overlay to show buildings not on the main Free Running network, and also to highlight that forts are a special case island type.
