Benchmark Viewer - Version History

Version 1.9
December 17TH, 2011

Removed the MyTopo maps as the user interface has changed and I need some time to rewrite the areas that used to include the MyTopo maps. If you use the mytopo maps and miss them, send me an email and I'll speed up my efforts.

Removed the statistics page as it was written using Coldfusion, and my web provider discontinued usage of Coldfusion on Novermber 26th, 2011. If you found it useful, again, send me an email and I'll see what I can do about getting it up and running again.

New Jersey (NJ) and the District of Columbia (DC) did not have an update available, so those pages will still use 03/01/2007 Data.

Added the "Terrain" Map, and set it as the default map type.

Removed the "Satellite" Only Map, as the Satellite data is available with the Hybrid Option. (May make these map types a pulldown in the future, as there is starting to be a lot of them)

Removed the mini "overview" map from the corner, as it was exhibiting some odd behavior, and is technically unsupported. (It may return in the future when I implement a fix from the Google Groups Forums)
