Since Google does not support Opera in their maps or map API, this might not be possible to overcome.

UPDATE: Got the full dataset and manually geocoded it, since they don't provide lat/lons fore each one.

We've added the ability to print the maps. Just click the (more tools) link below the map, then the Print icon. Just the map and list of locations will be sent to your printer (not the rest of the Your Mapper page). Thanks for the suggestion!

You can still export any search in a variety of formats. Just click the 'more links' link at the bottom of the map. Then click CSV to export all your results for use in a spreadsheet application.

API keys are now live in everyone's account. You can see your key on your main user page at the bottom right. Rate limits are enforced now, but if you use your key you can increase your daily limit 5 fold. This also will allow reporting and site tracking for where you use it, but this is not yet live.

Instead of a drop down to select a map to view on the mobile site, show a full page, scrollable list of maps with details like description, ratings, location, etc so you can find the maps you are interested in more quickly.

Your Mapper Admin (admin) responded:

Done! There is a new, smaller button under Center Here called 'use map center' that will recenter the search using the current center of your map. Good for moving the search around quickly to a new area.

Is it enough that every other row has a different background color? There is no cross-browser CSS to highlight a row, so it would have to be done using more javascript, which I am trying to avoid.

Great idea, I think we'll add that. The only reason we didn't was that it was more text data for your browser to handle when you made a new search, but maybe it's worth it.
