New MP Map System

I've updated the map page to show pie wedges of the types of climbs in each area.  Give it a try - it's kind of fun to look around. It's also more resource-intensive and curious if it breaks phones or older computers...

ok, seeing the type of climbing in each state is kind of net!

That's pretty cool - helps to get a feel for an area without clicking around too much.

Neato!

Yeah that's immediately useful. Chapeau

pretty

Pretty cool! There is a delay when zooming around on my pc and the bigger dots seem to get crowded more than with the old small blue dots. Maybe adjust the zoom level where the areas get grouped or make areas appear above sub areas?

The next step would be to have the option to either generate a pie chart for climbing type or by grade.

I second this.

Do ice and alpine routes get grouped with trad?

Yes.  I might break them out in the future though.

Awesome!

From my phone, when viewing an area via the map feature, I can no longer click on the area anymore and have it take me directly to that page. For example, if I zoom in to the Refrigerator Wall in Ice Box Canyon in Red Rock, I can click on the circle and see how many routes there are and of what type. Previously I could then click on the refrigerator wall and it would take me directly to that page? Any way we could have that functionality back? Love this new concept though!

I see what you mean... it's tricky to get the click handling right with phone taps so might take some time.  If I quickly tap it sometimes opens the window for that area, but it's really erratic.

Welcome to my recurring nightmare. Nothing is ever simple in JavaScript.

You might want to look into JavaScript's touch events instead--but then you need to make sure you don't activate on touch AND click getting a doubled event.
