Is it just me or is this new design really slow? Especially scrolling around images. Bring back the old design

I’m sorry you feel that way Gabe. What is it particularly that you hate so much?

Happy Birthday!

Cool new layout, but you can’t view the places directly in Google Maps (if needed), can you?

Guys,

Technical issue here: my guess is that you changed the image links from links referring to google maps, to links referring to your own pages with embedded google map content. For some reason, they don’t render on my system (I’m using a Mac); I get your page, your background, your inside header, your ad bar on the left, and a big empty space in the middle.

I’m not sure what the rendering issue is, but until it can get fixed, could you offer alternate old-style direct-to-google-maps links also?

Jonathan,

There’s no need to miss the scale as now I’ve added it to the embedded map. Thanks for pointing it out.

The new integrated maps look great, and I’m glad they don’t include the annoying overview that Google have recently added to the bottom right-hand corner, which it is impossible have minimised by default.

However, I think some people will miss the scale that is on the standard maps, which is regularly used to determine the size of things (length of trains, size of lettering, etc.)
