New Marker Category

I’ve added a new category – “Temporarily Unavailable” for locations that for whatever reason, are temporarily not in service. It has its own marker icon: White circle with a red cross through it

In other news, I am currently working on some performance improvements:

  • Map caching (Helps speed up load times on maps with lots of markers)
  • Clustering (Combines markers that are close together, until you zoom in)
  • Jump to location (This used to work, but seems to have issues with the Caching)
  • Show location (Again, used to work, but now shows the wrong icon when clustering is enabled)

These are just a few of the things being worked on in the background.

Added Selwyn District Council recycling locations.

Fixed a number of incorrectly categorised markers.

Current statistics across all the map types currently live on the site:

  • Cardboard & Paper – 232 locations
  • Batteries – 251 locations
  • Polystyrene – 33 locations
  • Soft Plastics – 248 locations
  • Glass – 216 locations
  • Op Shops – 101 locations
  • Beverage Cartons – 80 locations
  • Cans – 230 locations
  • Cosmetics – 74 locations

This brings the total live number of markers to 1465. This is a little lower than previously reported as I now realise I’d been including the markers on a test map (whoops!).

Another interesting tid-bit is that the majority of traffic coming to the site are interested either in polystyrene recycling, or Op Shop locations.
