Re: [Talk-ca] openstreetmap.ca is up!
I'll second Harald's suggestion to have the map show Canada on load.

Re: [Talk-ca] openstreetmap.ca is up!
Flesh it out. Try to fill in all four points, rather than just the idea. What zoom and center point? How does that work on different devices / resolution / orientation? How will this be implemented? What effect will this have on a returning visitor? What else? ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

The map view can be based on a bounding box, so a strategically-selected bounding box should handle all of these variables well. We should probably exclude the northern reaches of the territories from the bbox otherwise it will look like OpenArcticMap thanks to mercator. How will this be implemented? What effect will this have on a returning visitor? What else? I find that being returned to the last thing I viewed is annoying/incorrect more often than not, so maybe have it centred on Canada every visit? I'm not sure about this though. -- AJ Ashton ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
Re: [Talk-ca] openstreetmap.ca is up!
Being returned to the last edited thing is the best! If I saw all of Canada every time I went to the website I'd be pulling lots of tiles and queries to get where I want to go. Cheers Stewart ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
