Jon -
I really like the map. What would be neat (IMHO), would be a feature so
that when you put the mouse cursor next to a dot, a window would pop up
that lets you know who that dot represents. Currently after you look at
the dots you have to move down to the descriptions to determine who the
dot represents. Eventually there will be several same colored dots in
some areas (like Houston).
Sorry to be giving you more work, it's just a suggestion.
Thanks for the map. It's really great to be able to reference where
people on the list live!
