Here is a link to our beta google quickview, http://charthorizon.com/races/2008_pensacola_islamujeres/htdocs/google_view.php.

Click on a boat link to jump straight to a boat, and mouseover boats to see recent info (just like in the regular quick view).

We've experimented w/ this on our previous races this year and welcome more comments.

Thanks for posting the link to the Google Quick View "trial page"...it seems that those who are more familiar working with Google Maps benefit from observing the race in this format...nice work!

I'd like to hear from anyone who has used this Google View "mapper", for either this race or past races, how they like feature...

Thanks! :D

The googleview has gotten popular and even though it's still in test mode, we've decided to make it more easily accessible from the quickview page.

Now you'll see a Google icon that will switch you from the default quickview to the experimental googleview mode.

We're still always eager for feedback, so keep it coming.
