Make the map not revert back to worldview when you move

[ed]

The Transition Initiatives map supports dynamically updating the URL to include the latitude, longitude and zoom level. This allows browser Back functionality to display the same historical map view, instead of resetting to a world view. Also links can be copied and used on other web pages to link to a specific view of the map.

The 350.org actions map gives a good example of this functionality, e.g. ​http://www.350.org/en/map#/map/53.338406/-1.699959/3

please provide estimate and help Ed work out whether this can be done in phase 4

Will require some custom coding...

1. jQuery History API: ​http://tkyk.github.com/jquery-history-plugin/
2. Code to get hold of GMap in a Drupally fashion: ​http://drupal.org/node/224702
3. Outright theft/liberation of code from: ​http://www.350.org/en/map#/map/53.338406/-1.699959/3
4. Tinkering.

It's probably an hour or two's R&D, then an hour or two's coding/testing.

thanks - definitely a minor thing - keep it that way for now - i can already feel other things taking more time, and there's bound to be a surprise entry into phase 4 in due course.

too much else on; closing
