Ayup
I knocked up a quick coord display on the map.
I ran out of time to work on it, so it goes a little funky when you go out of the map boundary, I'll sort that next time.
Also, I'm going to add city and other point of interests to it, but I don't really want to maintain that myself (plus I don't know where anything is).
I'm going to add a simple text config file that'll hold all the coordinates, names and descriptions of these places.
The markers will have a popup when clicked that looks like clicking on a city in the real google maps, which will contain a brief summary of the location and links to town's subreddits/threads/wiki/whatever.
I would like volunteers that will be given access to a online text editor to maintain this config. It'll be really simple, you just need to have a good knowledge of the CivEx map and be able to write short, coherent descriptions.
Also, the next update will remove the blended in background colour so you can see the world border more clearly, and add another zoom level. If anyone has other requests then post away.
EDIT: I just remembered, google chrome's caching means you won't see the changes straight away unless you reload the page with ctrl f5.
EDIT2: Bleh, just realised google's API is still trying to account for it's mercator projection (showing a curved earth on a flat image) when giving me the lat/long. I'll try and get it fixed before I leave for the night.
EDIT3: Too much math to fix atm, will sort it tomorrow. Taken coord display off for now.
