v2.1

We've made a lot of changes with this version to take more control over our export of maps including vector maps now.

New features

• Vector export
  • We've cribbed a bunch of code from Mapzen's amazing svg-export thanks @hanbyul-here
  • The vector export function downloads an SVG at the pixel size of the map (or column size if a print column size is selected from the dropdown)
  • The area is clipped based on the map preview area
  • Any uploaded geojson is also sent to the vector file
  • Does not support labels (automatic or custom) currently
• New styles
  • We have cribbed even more code from Mapzen's walkabout-style and biggered it, as one of our editors says
  • The text sizes are quite large because of our CMS's scaling. So, most readers will see something about half the size of what we need to make.
  • The styles remove the tan background and bring brighter greens and blues for water and landuse
• Layer selection
  • Don't want freeway ramps? Turn 'em off. Service roads? Bye.
  • Users can select from here to turn on/off sources, terrain, buildings (zoom 14+), transit (z14+), labels, roads, borders, landuse and water.
• Custom labels
  • We've added two custom label sizes that are just HTML icons plopped onto the map. You can edit the text, but you may want to lock the zoom after you place them.
• Everything else
  • We've removed the option to "lock pan"
  • "Lock zoom" has been moved to a lock icon near the zoom slider
  • Zoom buttons are replaced by a slider
  • bing-geocodify updated to v0.2.2
  • tangram updated to v0.13.0
  • data files added for Mexican states, U.S. counties and Los Angeles neighborhoods
