announcing, a new way to search Ocellus… via maps. Granted, this is only for the records that are geocoded, but still, I have been testing it and find it quite useful and fun

Now, when you got to Ocellus, you will notice a new globe button (far right) in the list of quicksearch buttons

Click on that and enjoy the maps.

I have been working on this for the past almost two months, and had to build entirely new map widgets for the phone. Yes, it does work on the phone. There are a couple of glitches that I already know about, but it is still quite useful to be able to click on an image marker and view its details quickly.

Please test it out and send me your complaints. As usual, in this issues tracker, and please, one item per issue. If you notice several problems, please open issues for each of them separately so I can track and fix them.

I will be writing more notes in the days to come and will share them via github.

Many thanks.

the maps can also be reached directly via https://ocellus.info/maps.html

Also, the maps view, like a good web citizen, is bookmarkable. If you click on a marker and view its info, you can copy the URL and send it to a colleague who can click and open the exact same view on their computer.
