Having recently returned from a trip to Kauai where I used my beach search engine with middling success, I've now got a few updates out on the site.
Firstly, there is a full map showing either all the beaches in a location, or all the beaches from a search within a location. This was a pretty obvious missing feature.
Secondly, as this is an active map, you can zoom and pan the map which interactively restricts the set of results.
There are some minor improvements to other elements of the site as well.
Note - something that always interests me is the relationship between back-end data quality and the presentation of the data. By having a complete map of beaches, it highlights cases where there are duplicates in the results (a topic for another post).
If you are heading to Hawaii - give it a try and let me know how you get on.
