Unfortunately, they've decided that Firefox 53 is an "older browser." There needs to be some ECMAScript versioning, some isFeatureAvailable() so that we can stop having this problem.
The older version of the map reminds me of Civ 1.

Question: Did you build this programmatically querying Orbis or just drew it by hand?

#6Do you find subway-style to be a good method of conveying information?
People seem to have agreed that the use of distinct colors is good, but are there more efficient ways of conveying the same info, for a given size?
For example London tube map doesn't waste space to show actual distance and I am looking for other ideas on how to compress this.

That's some coincidence. I'm from about 20 min south of there (Im.). I was surprised to see KE on there.

#10This is really neat. It'd be awesome to see famous people's hometown and traveling routes on top of this.
