Okay. I've worked a little more on the maps. There's a preloader with a throbber now to cater to slower connections. And I've also added a top and a bottom bar with a few extra goodies - that close box button e.g. :) The bottom bar is still empty though. The plan is to make a listing of all the map notes in text form. I figured the larger map is nice and all, but you would still have to hover your mouse over each icon of a certain type to find a specific one. What the map needs is a legend. So that's what's supposed to go in the bottom bar: a text listing of all map notes. I figured I should group them exactly the way they're grouped on the wowwiki:Template:Zone_Map_Note page:

POI -> 0-154 Blip Faction -> Alliance/Horde/Neutral Subzone -> Location Raid -> Star/Circle/Diamon/Triangle/Moon/Square/Cross/Skull Quests -> Quest/AvailableQuest/AvailableRRQuest/ActiveQuest/ActiveRRQuest Gossip -> Banker/Binder/Healer/Inn/Petition Tracking - Auctioneer/BattleMaster/ClassTrainer/Flightmaster/FoodDrink/Mailbox/Reagent/Repair/StableMaster Portal -> Blue/Green/Red/Purple/White Other -> Barber

Trainers and ClassTrainers should probably get their own category though. I noticed that frequently one icon stands for several Trainers and ClassTrainers. Those should be listed separately then. I guess.

Does this make sense to you guys?

(After the legend is finished, I would write a few extras to handle screen estate more economically. It's all getting a bit large.)
