Car seats now live!

Car seats, with around 50 locations across the motu, is now live on RecycleMap. The scheme is run by SeatSmart, with many district councils and baby supply shops participating. 70% of the materials in car seats can be recycled (Straps, metals, plastics), but it’s a tricky thing to process, so unfortunately there are usually fees associated with dropping off your old car seats for recycling. The good news it that these fees are often subsidised!

In other news, we’re also now at 2988 marker locations, only 12 more to go until there are 3000 locations live!

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.
