The map is still more of an annoyance than useful. If you use your mouse roller to scroll down the page, you then inadvertently zoom the map. And it's not a very good map. As a mapping guy, I think it's better to leave it off unless it is really useful. Just being able to click the address as a link to Redfin or Google maps is a better solution than the map you provide.

The point of the map is to show what other comments are nearby.
It also makes it easy to see a new address and get to the page for that address on my site just by clicking on the map.
I couldn't do that with just a link to Redfin's maps. They don't have access to my database.
Since I don't have a mouse roller (using only Linux and Mac) I never ran into that zooming problem, but I'll find a Windows PC somewhere and check it out.

I find the city based discussions hard to navigate and un-intuitive. I liked the old property forums just fine...
any thoughts from others?
thanks!
