Map Control #3

Great Website!

But I cannot interact with the map very well. I feel I should be able to move around more like google maps, grabbing the map and moving it about. There are plenty of areas on the map I can't seem to get to because the music video, description of the era and the list of songs are blocking them. I can zoom in and out all I want, but I cannot move about and see what lurks behind the foreground. Fix this, and you guys/gals will have a sweet website. I especially love the pirate theme!

Hi Scran I recently rewrote the site from flash. In the flash version the foreground GUI elements were hidden when dragging which I think would fix the issue you are describing. I did implement this functionality in the new version but had to remove it at the last minute due to issues with Internet Explorer. I'll see if I can get it working again at some point.

Another thing to note is that I can't hide the video due to restrictions with YouTube's terms of service. As any time you play a video it must be visible.
