Hello folks,

I am pleased to announce a new version of BerkeleyMapper, a tool for 
mapping point distribution data from specimens, observations, etc. If you 
want to know more about BerkeleyMapper, see http://berkeleymapper.berkeley.edu/

Best,
Carla

>The test instance of BerkeleyMapper  has been pushed to production
>(http://berkeleymapper.berkeley.edu).  All calling applications will
>now be using the new version.  This is a significant release as it
>includes:
>
>1. Integration with GoogleMaps API
>2. Query by polygon shape
>3. Dynamic table updating on Map pan/zoom
>4. Re-written codebase to use PHP classes and separate modules for
>interface, map-rendering, and data loading.
>
>The interface is fairly different than the old one.  I tried to avoid
>re-working the user interface but the changes were inevitable due to
>the GoogleMaps dependencies.   Testers have found the interface
>easier to use after they got used to the changes.

>Many thanks to those of you who gave comments already -- additional
>comments are always welcome.
