Currently each places file is separated by country, but what is stopping them from being separated further for each place level?
I was adding cities to the maps for the USA and the already overly large file is getting out of control.
The http_loadmap() javascript function should be modifiable to accomplish this. I know very little javascript, otherwise I would give it a shot myself.
Example:
USA.htm
USA_Oklahoma.htm
USA_Oklahoma_Pittsburg.htm

We have discussed map files before.
My preferred method would be to include a new PHP file which outputs the img tag and image map. Our event editor should not have to know *how* these maps are stored; only if a map exists for the specified location.
This would free us up to use multiple files, as suggested by Patrick; retrieve the information from a database; or even pass the buck to a map server. If it doesn't find information in its local data store, it would be free to query a central repository.
