Cant use new map on the phone :(
What phone?
Perhaps the "political map" could become the old "dynamic map"? The advanced features of the new map are cool, but the old one is neat and simple.
Can you even access region pages with the new one? That's all I ever used it for, and I can't seem to click on regions anymore.
Btw, scout reports now centre on your region instead of the region that was scouted...

I would also like to see the old map still appear. Perhaps as a "simple" map, whilst the current can remain as the dynamic one.

Not yet, but this functionality is planned.

Details, please.
While the OpenLayers library is a little heavy, it definitely works on mobile devices.

Does anyone ever use the static political map, anyways? Dynamic was basically the same, except you could click for more details, and often the political one wouldn't update often enough. I would definately rather keep the old dynamic map than the old political map, though mind you I guess it can be useful for archival purposes.
Iphone, map wont load at times, slow and cumbersome to zoom map. I like the old map to quickly see nations . New map buttons way to small for phone and it loads all jumbled.
It works just fine on my iPad. However, I have not yet added touch recognition. OpenLayers supports touch, theoretically, but I'm not yet using it.
The political map is just for seeing other continents. :)
It was easier to add than I thought. Try it now, touch navigation via drag and pinch now works on my iPad as well as my iPhone.

I use it for that quite a bit.
Also if you're downloading the map image for records-keeping.
Its working a bit better, I am still getting used to it and preferred the fast load up of the original. Don't get me wrong I love this map on my laptop, it's just a bit pinched on the iphone.
I agree, bring back the old dynamic map.
I second this motion. Use the old dynamic map for the political map. That way we have an option for our mobile devices that is up-to-date and loads quickly.
Interesting how this new D-map lets people on Dwilight see exactly which regions belong to (rogue) and which regions belong to Zuma Coalition. I guess some people's curiosities are finally satisfied or something.

I didn't realize that was still a secret. I thought by now they'd have scouted it out.
It's probably not. Then again, that makes me wonder why we still can't access info about (rogue) and Zuma Coalition regions like we can for human realms if they're not a secret. I mean, I can't even see details about regions...even for the region that I'm a knight and steward for, lol.

I think the lands of the Zuma are well-known to those bordering the Zuma--problably not so much for those in Storm's End.
Before this map, I had no idea which land were rogue and which Zuma.
I don't think that even their neighbours new with 100% certainty...
They could try to track region takeover messages, but you are not guaranteed to receive one.
I once asked Mr. Tom on the IRC thing what about the daimons over in the west. He replied with something that sounded of the form "There are stories of things". And so folk tales are revealed to be true in some form. Therefore now no more is there the veil. Miss Blue is going around to fight mountains.

You'd be surprised at how much the Duke of Storms End's duchy knows about the Zuma.
Does anyone other than the GM actually know anything about the Zuma? I somehow have reservations about claiming as such.

Pick a random other region in the north-east then.

Actually, I believe that they did. Just needed to be in contact with Terran to know.
Also what's with the "geography" option. It seems to just display a different but similar map.
For those who still care - the "political map" (which had been broken for a while anyways) now is the old dynamic map. So you can have both. At least for the moment.
Perfect.
With the old map, you used to be able to click regions to get the details. Will this be included in the new map as well?
As soon as we figure out how to do it. Tim was working on it yesterday, but wasn't able to get it working.
First - I love the new map.
And now that the 'political map' once again gives access to regional info and scribe notes I am (back) in heaven. One of my chars is a marshal and for planing anything conected to the military the (old) dynamic map with its scouting notes was a huge help. (Note: I still remember my ecstasy when the dynamic map was introduced for the first time).
So /thanks/ for adding the scribe notes and regional info to the Political Map!
Tom, can we get the default options for the Dwilight version of the dynamic map adjusted? The options that would make it usable would be:
Base layer: Full map
Overlays: Realms and/or Flags
my biggest gripe with it is you can't click on the region to see reports/region details.
... granted the old map is the new political map.. but still

Yeah we know, it is coming it just isn't very simply to get working.
did anyone notice 2 layers of names in the new map if you select names to be displayed? (looks like only region names atm?) the words are not in the same position... so it's a bit funny

That's because you have the "details" layer shown, which already contains names - same for region borders. Change to the "geo" layer and you'll see what I mean.
