Pub Crawl

The new, and long anticipate Pub Crawl feature has just been added.

The new page has just passed through a week of debugging, and should be 98% bug free. Its the best we can do for now. Speaking of for now, for thursday night and part of friday the pub crawl feature will be available only on a Chicago version (sorry). We plan on getting the other versions up and running in the next day or two, hopefully, it will be ready for the weekend.

There is a short how to on the map, but let me give you a quick run down. In order to use the map you must click on the map on at least two different locations. When you click a yellow marker will pop up, and a line will be drawn between the lines.

As soon as there are two points the page will look for any pub special that matches your filter selections that is on a line between those tow points. You can set the width of that line using the "Deviation from path" setting on the right.

The deviation is limited to the leg of the map you draw at that moment. There was some suggestion that it should be retroactive, changing older legs, but I think that its possible you might want to set the changing widths (more direct line as the night gets late for example).

To clear the map and start again, just hit the "Reset Map" button on the right.

Feel free to send us any bugs you can find.

Enjoy!
