Portal/web site issues Let us know how we can get you started (select one): Institution or Collection Name Please give us your feedback, ask your question, or describe your issue. Use as much detail as necessary. You can attach a screen capture and other documentation in the next field below. Please for the love of god, stop making the map update interactively. I love the "found in circle on map" function, but if there are hundreds of results (i.e. class Amphibia, from before 1970, in a circle that includes Death Valley National Park), the Google API always freezes. This is ridiculously stupid. You should be able to set the radius of the circle, THEN click search and see the results. Updating interactively as you move the circle just makes the API and search function clunky and slow. Attach a screen capture or other relevant documentation.
