[Shake-dev] ShakeMap 3.1 and EW shakemapfeed

[Jack Boatwright]

Hi All,

I was at lunch yesterday with Chris Rojahn (an ex-USGS engineer at ATC and
a ShakeMap user & enthusiast).  He was dismayed by his inability to see the
stations on the intensity map, he has a seismologist's interest in knowing
how well constrained specific areas of intensity might be.  But Chris
suggested an interesting solution: the addition of a button to the
intensity maps that turned the station triangles on and off.  So let me put
an open question to the programmers: how feasible is such a solution?  I
think that it would help our collective job of checking the maps
tremendously.

					take care,        Jack
