[Talk-GB] Update to Freemap
Hello everyone, Would just like to announce an update to Freemap, my site for showing walking-orientated maps of OSM data in England and Wales (http://www.free-map.org.uk). It's still using Kothic JS as it has been for some time now, but now uses Leaflet.draw for adding annotations and walking routes, resulting in a (hopefully) more user friendly UI. *Please do note* that this is a project I work on in my own time, so I don't necessarily have the time to make it completely slick and professional, also do note that the use of client side rendering can mean that the maps can be slow to render if you haven't visited that area before. It isn't intended to be the best mapping site out there... it is just a hobbyist project! On Chrome on Windows, rendering actually seems slower now than a year or two ago (not sure if this is chrome or the new version of Kothic) while Firefox and IE seem to be quicker. Does this sound familiar to anyone else using kothic-js? If you have previously registered, please note you need to re-register as I have upgraded the login system to use PHP's native password functions rather than the (now regarded as insecure) sha1. I'm hoping to also make it properly mobile-friendly in the next couple of weeks.

Re: [Talk-GB] Update to Freemap
Oops... just noticed a somewhat inaccurate statement.Just to clarify: also do note that the use of client side rendering can mean that the maps can be slow to render if you haven't visited that area before. This isn't actually due to the client-side rendering, it's due to the process of generating the geojson from the server. Server side caching of geojson means that it's significantly quicker when you visit an area the second time.

[Talk-GB] Signup bug corrected (Re: Update to Freemap)
Hi, Sorry - a couple of people pointed out an error in the sign up link, which I thought I'd removed. If you were having problems signing up, try again now - it should work.
