Faster Map

By
A significant improvement has just been released regarding the mapping tools on Grottocenter. > Clément has reworked the server-side functionality to limit calls to only what is truly necessary when viewing the map. This allows for a faster response even when displaying the entire world, and it reduces the load on our database. He also took the opportunity to fix a bug related to the OSM map display. > The map search and menus have been redesigned by Paul. He has replaced the icon icons for entries with dots of varying sizes depending on the entry's importance. It is now possible to select the types of entries you wish to see.

Even more functional massifs

By
Clément has just published new services associated with the massifs - Now it is possible to have a massif made up of different zones, these zones can include holes - It is possible to import a file corresponding to the perimeter of the massif - The display of entries associated with the massif uses clustering (display of hexagons in areas of high density of caves) and a limit size of the massif to avoid inappropriate use of the service This system responds to a request from the NSS but also from other organizations to have massifs which correspond to areas which benefit from particular protection.
