More code changes today
I’ve hopefully improved performance by loading more data up front with the attraction markers so that you don’t need to request more data just to show the GMap popup bubble. This should make the map feel snappier.
I’ve also removed the expanding bubble, aka, the info window. The info window seemed like a neat idea at the time, a standard GMaps UI element that made sense as a place to show the full information about an attraction. However I still needed the content popup to show other pages, meaning I had two bunches of code for the two different types of information. So I’ve dropped info window so now we just have a single way to show information, via the content popup, making the code smaller and things hopefully simpler from the UI point of view too. Plus, the bubble transitions played havoc with the back button functionality so without it I’ve managed to shop out a whole bunch of nasty complex stuff.
