Site Updates : July 2005
It's been a busy month of updates this month, both on and beneath the surface. Frequent visitors will already be aware of the new level of map integration that was launched a couple of weeks ago, along with a complete overhaul of the code behind the search system that makes it easier for us to extend. But that's not where it stopped.

Complete Google Maps Integration
As promised, I've spent more time working on google maps integration for the site, and the results are now live. Behind the scenes I've actually completely reworked the search code so that it's much easier to add on extra ways of viewing the search results and now every search on the site can be viewed on a map, with links between map view and regular view. There are a few locations missing from the map view as I haven't been able to pinpoint longitude/latitude for them, but hopefully the gaps will be filled soon.

More Google Maps Integration
Yesterday Google announced an official interface so that programmers can make use of their mapping technology. I've updated the Grand Rapids WiFi google map to use that interface and it can now be used. This is still experimental, so links around the site may not reflect this new map for a while, but I hope to offer search results plotted on a map and other map-based tools soon.
