News: Draw your neighborhood boundary on a map  — 2 years ago

On neighborhood maps you can now draw and edit boundary lines. It’s pretty sweet. I just drew the neighborhood boundary for Capitol Hill in Seattle.

You’ll see a “create neighborhood boundary” link at the top of neighborhood map pages. Clik that to get started. A tip: when you’re setting points for drawing the boundary line you can always click “remove last point” to go back a pinpoint.

You guys rock!

And it’s done just in time for Cinephile and I to work out our neighborhoods…

right on!

I just told Ivan that all his late night work on this was worth it. We’re thrilled that you two will be using the feature immediately.

Immediately!

It works! It’s a little slow for me since my browser takes a sec to settle on my new point, but I know that’s going to be useful for people drawing odd shapes.

Hey...

Will these show up when I’m sorting other places? This would be a great feature to have when I sort places that I don’t know as well, like Brooklyn and Boston…

memory intensive

Some browsers work much better. I noticed that Safari on Mac is super slow. Firefox is faster. On a PC Firefox works best—and PCs tend to handle this much better. Ivan is on a PC and it’s lightning fast.

Also, if you’re running a bunch of apps on your computer you may trying closing a few as it tends to take a good amount of memory at times. Good luck.

apps...

Apps huh? That would be it…

I often go off and surf while stuff renders in the background, so that has a lot to do with why my computer slows down…
