Big maps look really good. I remember the first time I used the 'hide panel' button in Google Maps, I literally voiced 'ohhh'. I'm not a fan of the modal dialogs on the linked site (nor the cufon - for whatever reason I can only see a handful of letters). The modal dialogs just add that unnecessary 'close' step which really detracts from casual browsing of trips.
On your site, you could definitely make the map bigger using a fluid design and you may be able to show all the cougars to some users. On an aside, the way you present the data on both the map and text is very slick.
- togasystems 15y agoThanks for the idea... I am planning on making it fluid so that it will look good on mobile. I think I will make it full screen with a long sidebar on the side that can be hidden. It is never a bad idea to steal UI design from Google :)
- estel 15y agoI had a similar issue with Cufon, and it was resolved with a graphics driver update. Perhaps try that? Not that it isn't a hideous piece of software that has no place in the web eco-system.
