zoomed map sections

[mef]

The geolocated tweets map can be enhanced by adding a zoomed-in section, showing the tweets in some portion(s) of the map.

Didn't see this issue, so while working on Greece, I thought that I needed to be able to zoom in. So I started working on it, and I'm zooming in with double click on areas, or zoom with the mouse.

It works great, and based on the zoom level I can change the radius of the dots so they become smaller when you zoom in . Also you can drag and drop the canvas and see other areas while zoomed in (maybe it will cause issues in mobile, will see :P )

I'm thinking of changing the width the lines for the map, to become thinner

Do you like my approach? Sorry I didnt see the issue before, maybe we start with what I have and we extend

Yep, looks good.

Do you have an idea about how to let visitors know that the map is zoomable?

Was thinking of a plus/minus sign on the top right of the box plus keeping the mouse zoom in/out Lets see

I've done my first commit. Have a look when you can. The issues that we currently have is

• When a new tweet comes in, the map is recentered
• When dragged after recentered, the zoom level is applied again
• Need to figure out a way to change the radious of new dots based on the zoom level

Done for tonight, it was a nice session and enjoyed it very much :)
