I worked on the website a lot this weekend, because I realized that this is actually one of the few slow points I have coming up. I wanted to make sure that I got my three development goals finished on schedule.

Here are the improvements I made:
1) There is now a SimMap content type. This content type requires a TIF file and .map file to be uploaded. It then translates this information, and displays the Google Maps interface we are used to.

2) I also created a SimMapFolder content type. This type requires a Latitude and Longitude value. It then acts as a folder, only when you click to view the folder it displays a blank Google Map centered on the specified location.

3) Finally, I created a SimMapNav portlet. This portlet essentially copies the standard navigation portlet, and creates the checkboxes for SimMap content types. However, there appears to be a bug in the implementation of the the way Plone 3 renders portlets, so this ends up changing the functionality of the standard navigation portlet. I can explain this in more detail at our meeting.

I also ran across a simple plone portlet to add static text. This should allow us to implement the legend display we talked about last meeting.
