Thanks!

What browser are you using? It basically doesn't support IE 6/7 because their anemic Javascript engines make it torturously slow. I'm very curious to hear about your experience, though... [email protected]

It's pretty fast on the Safari beta... that being said, it is pretty slow if you try to zoom into the map via mousewheel, since it does an update even at high zoom levels. Maybe limit updates to every X zoom levels at the high level, and then update at every zoom for the finer ones.

Ah yeah, that might be an optimization worth making. Thanks for the feedback.

Ability to link to the current view would be nice... I wanted to show a friend a neighbourhood I was looking at but couldn't :) Sorry to suggesting such low-priority things, I'm a bit OCD about these things...

That's actually something I've been wanting to do for a while, I just haven't gotten around to it - basically a full "save state".

A workaround is to save something in the neighborhood to your favorites list, and then save the favorites list. This'll shoot you an email with a link that can restore that list, and you can send/forward that link to your friend. Once the list is loaded up, they can click on the go to marker button/graphic in the saved favorites list.

On a simpler scale, can't you do this the Google Maps way? Which is to say, specify a center lat/long and a zoom level. This way you're not bookmarking any data specifically, but bookmarking your view instead.

Depends on use case: the case I was in was just that I wanted to show a friend what was available in a particular neighbourhood, as opposed to a specific set of postings.

Yeah, that's basically what I want to do - save the view as well as the filters that have been applied.
