If you have watched the growth of photos tagged with remarkableohio<\/a> on the Flickr map, you should have noticed a fundamental change in the way it works.<\/p>\n

My\u00a0original plan was to have one page that showed every marker tagged with “remarkableohio”.\u00a0 Now you get a listing at the bottom that says there are 277 pictures, but only about thirty red dots show up on the map.\u00a0 It takes a lot of work to see the rest of those dots.<\/p>\n

I thought zooming in on an area would show all the markers in that area.\u00a0 This is not the case.\u00a0 From the full Ohio<\/a> map, I zoomed into the Findlay area.\u00a0 I stopped when Hancock County filled the screen.\u00a0 I waited for the red dots to show up.\u00a0 I waited a long time.\u00a0 Nothing happened.<\/p>\n

In other words, no markers showed up in Hancock County.\u00a0 This is about as bad as it can get.\u00a0 I have specified a tag with at least\u00a0fifty hits around the\u00a0county where I live and none of the markers are on the map.\u00a0 To get those markers at this new zoom level, I have to do a completely new search by clicking “Search the map” and then TYPING my tag.\u00a0 Flickr doesn’t even remember that I have already typed the tag on the previous page.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After a new search, Flickr says there are 54 matches but still only shows about half of those markers.\u00a0 If you want to see all the markers, you must zoom into a specific area and TYPE another search.\u00a0 I zoomed into downtown Findlay, TYPED a new search and still don’t see almost half of the markers in the downtown area.<\/p>\n

Way to take a killer application and cripple it, Flickr.\u00a0 Why isn’t there a button that says “Show all markers”???<\/p>\n

Also, why did the scroll mouse zoom go away?\u00a0 I used it all the time.\u00a0 Now it’s gone.<\/p>\n

Please give me my old Flickr map back!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
