Thank you - www.krugerlive.com

Hello. 

Just a quick but big THANK YOU to all contributors to this group for your invaluable help getting our live game sightings map of Kruger Park in South Africa.

It's launched (www.krugerlive.com) and getting about 4,000 visits a day. The sightings are generated by park users with our iOS and Android app - now the number 1 selling travel app in South Africa. 

We share the sightings data (see www.krugerlive.com/historic.html) with the Endangered Wildlife Trust and the University of Cape Town's Zoology Department to track dispersal and population densities of rare predators, such as the African Wild Dog. App users can also add signs of suspicious activity, such as poaching, immediately to the map, including a photo and exact location. We then share this with the wildlife protection agencies in the park.

Anyway, we believe it's a really interesting, innovative and useful implementation of Fusion Tables, Maps and Android. Using Analytics we can see that people from all around the world (97 countries!) like to "watch" wild African unfold in real time, spending over 3 mins on the map each time. We're hope to roll out to other parks before too long.

Anyway, thanks again for your help and patience with my stupid questions!

Pretty confusing, too much PR, and too many bugs.
Sorry, not my taste. )-;

i have to agree...on slow pcs (like my laptop) the map is very laggy and sluggish

Yes, the original pposter should read this at great length

bugs are living in another part of the zoo.)

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback, even if it's quote negative! And I've look at http://shiriru.blogspot.de/.

But I don't get specifically how this relates to our map on www.krugerlive.com. If anyone has specific suggestions on how we can speed it up/improve/de-bug in any way I'm more than happy to listen. 

I agree it's quite slow to load but didn't notice this to be particularly different to "normal" google maps, especially given additional layers and real-time data content download.

So - would love specific suggestions but please remember I'm a relative newbie so please KISS. 

Thanks

Rob
