An idea woke me last night, too, so I built it. The maps now have a finder feature.
eta: I had to hand-alter the data to implement the finder, so I zapped the funny stuff, because I am lazy, arbitrary SOB.
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

My brain hates you.
But not enough stop me from making a suggestion: Alphabetize the drop-down list?

OK. Done.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Gus, if you rawked any harder you'd tilt the Earth off its axis.
Go, weremonkey, go!!!!!!!!!

All is well that ends in pizza.
I noticed "margaritaville" was still on the map, so I tried moving it.
I misspelled it.
Feel free to remove the one in Maine.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
That is way cool, Gus.
The hellmouth should be directly under me. I'm in Cleveland. Someone put it in Lorain County, which never did anything to anyone so far as I can tell.

So I don't know if this is a known abnormal bug, but I forgot the endquote in my font tag (<font color="white), which resulted in the following characters' being turned into red asterisks. And in the edit, the "edit" text above the white box shows up in red as well. I don't know if this normally happens when you leave off that quotation mark, or just here, but I'm just reporting it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Polter, misquoting never works out well.
Pretty much anytime the quotes in a tag don't match something weird will happen. At least font tags are easier to fix than a misquoted "HREF" attribute.

Also, P-C, do you know about the spoiler font quick-edit? Start a line with a lower-case s and the rest of the line is automagically white.

I know about the quick edit, but it's confusing to use because of the way returns don't induce line breaks. Everything ends up on the wrong line or running together. I'm already familiar with HTML, so I don't use the quick edit, save for quoting.
I guess I could try not to tell you that Darth Vader is Luke's father, huh?
Hey, magic. Hm. Maybe I can do this after all.
