[EHPweb] Prototype Mapping Interface

[David Oppenheimer]

That's rather slick. 

The only unexpected behavior I encountered is that if you are zoomed into a
region (e.g., Southern CA), and update the magnitude threshold to greater
than any event in view (e.g., 5.0), it sometimes zooms out to the globe
default map and resets to M2.5.

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
