New Explore by Location

Hi all,

At Ancestry we've been working on improvements to the 'Explore by Location' map on the Search page. For those of you who don't know, it is the map at the bottom of the page that allows you to explore collections for specific locations.

The improvements are in final testing right now, but I wanted to give people in the UK & Ireland a quick preview of the new map.

You can make the map appear with the following link:
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/?xloc=1

The new map has a couple of specific improvements over the old one:
- The map is now dynamic, you can zoom and scroll around the map
- When you click on a pin it takes up the full page giving you more room to view the map
- The location specific collections are now updated automatically and are on the map instead of a separate page.

Feel free to try it out and let us know what you think.

Regards,
Mike
