@tomhughes, can you guys walk and chew bubble gum at the same time or something? Well I get that the website is "mostly" to aid mappers, it doesnt mean there arent people come there to view the map also once in a while. I know I do sometimes. Just because you impliment a few viewer centric features, like better viewing on mobile where you took the same stance for not implimenting that issue, doesnt automatically make you a competitor to Google. I dont get why there is such a phobia about it anyway, even if it did. Plus, you would think making it more user friendly, whatever end its on, would inharently bring in more editors. Which would be a good thing. Being openly hostile toward a segement of the websites users by discounting every feature they might benefit from off hand definitely isnt going to help bring in more editors though. Especially not those people you refuse to catter to for no other reason then that you don't feel like it.
