That looks brilliant. What would be good would be if you could do a search on all the information on the map pieces so you could easily find buildings/streets/homes/places of interest.

I would help but I can barely work a toaster.

If you have the ability do this though let me know and I could help collect all the information on the back of each card to save you a bit of time if you wanted.

Great work though.

PM me if you need me to do that.

Can't believe I never noticed this, great work by the way How lond did it take to do?

That really is some amazing work, the next step of course after making the map searchable would be to add links to relevant articles in the wiki. Then a true Resource Of The Gods would be born Congrats again.

Version 2 is now up! You can now search for any text on the map and have the matching results marked with markers. Click a marker for the name and any additional information about the location. There are three types of markers - Places of Interest, Subway Stations, and Streets.

You can also select to view all locations of a particular type. Please note that if you do this for Streets or Places of Interest you may experience some lag as there are a lot of locations to be marked on the map. In my tests Firefox didn't have a problem with it, but Internet Explorer was a lot slower and almost froze at one point.

Features that I have planned for the future:
* Ability to link directly to the results of a specific search or to specific locations, so that if a location is being discussed somewhere it can be easily linked to.
* Links to relevant Wiki articles (thanks to Enigmaster for this idea). I'll have to think about this one, whether it would be best to just link the location name to the article if available, or if I should add an extra link at the bottom of the info boxes for it.

If anyone has any other suggestions let me know in this thread or by PM.

To the people who offered to help entering data, thanks for your offers, but I realised when I started entering it that there was no way for me to see what I had and had not entered, so I just had to start from a point and move my way across the map so that I didn't miss anything or put anything in twice.

[European Chris]

Thats A Lot Of Hard Work!! Very Impressed

Just finished making some updates to the map. It's mostly just new data that we've gained from our experience with the Police, rather than new functionality:

• Fixed up the PXCPD precinct markers that I quickly threw together earlier. The markers are now in the approximate locations of the dark squares here, most of which lined up with a building or group of buildings on the map. It also now shows the boundaries with lines.
  
• Thanks to the same Police page we now know the shape of the sections of the city that we haven't seen yet. These sections are now shaded on the unavailable sections of the map.
  
• The addresses for Violet, Anna, and Sente have been added as detail to the existing markers for their homes. I also added the approximate location of Cymbalisty's apartment (search for his name to find it), but we don't know exactly which building is the Mimasan Block.
  
• Ascendancy Point! I'd been thinking about adding the image from here for a while. Unfortunately we don't have it at full (60dpi) resolution yet, so it is unavailable at the maximum zoom level.

I also implemented a better resize function so it should fit better to the browser window now.
