Thanks everyone who has given the map interface a try! (I’m definitely still looking for some feedback so feel free to comment or drop me a line).
The map (at http://mlpmap.blogspot.com) should be working. (If you try it and it isn’t, please let me know!)
I’ve resolved a bug that had it displaying a blank “google map” for some users who had not installed the google earth plugin. Now, it should display correctly or direct you to download the google earth plugin from http://earth.google.com/plugin/. You do need this plugin for the map to work.
There are some issues with compatability between Mac and Windows operating systems. I’ve been developing all of this on Mac OS X and did not realize that folks using Windows were not seeing what I was seeing. Basically, not even Google’s own site using this interface displays in Internet Explorer on a Windows machine (even though their documentation states that IE 7 or newer is ok). The best I can do is to suggest that Windows users avoid Internet Explorer! Try it in another browser like Firefox or Chrome. I’ll continue to look into this. I’ve also run into a few issues with survey areas displaying incorrectly when using any browser with windows XP. Still looking into this.
I hope to have more surveys up soon!
