[EHPweb] Prototype Mapping Interface

[Jeremy M Fee]

Hello,

Based on everyone's feedback, Eric and I have developed a new  
prototype mapping interface.  We've added some features, and some  
previously available features may not yet be available.  Please take a  
look and continue sending feedback via the wave and email.

	http://ehpd-earthquake.cr.usgs.gov/earthquakes/mvcmapping/


Some highlights:
	- When the map zooms or pans, the list updates to include only  
earthquakes on the map.
	- When you select an earthquake in the list or map, it is highlighted  
in both.
	- An interactive minimum magnitude filter, defaults to M2.5+

We will try to update "currently implemented features" section of the  
wave soon.


Thanks,

Jeremy
