Things were looking very... Sawatch-y before he changed it!

Also, I may have to change that sh!t colored marker I chose for the Gores
Bronco orange gets my vote! It'd go well with the other citrus colors of the other ranges on that same vertical slice of map. :P

One thing I did want to point out & it's fine if it is the new way, I'll adjust. When you click a peak on the map it now opens that in that same tab (used to be a new tab). This isnt too much of an issue (esp. after the fixes you are doing for supranihilest) unless you are drawing lines (& haven't saved them). You can click the peak, hover above the name, & right click "Open in new tab". This workaround works but teaching this old dog new tricks is the problem! In any case - we can't say it enough... THANK YOU Bill for your hard work on this site!
I'm horrible with names...
But will never forget a mountain's face!

The first thing I do every time I load the map is enable the 13er pins, which is only a few clicks but every time I look at the map. I assume other 13er climbers do the same so it'd be cool to have a setting that'd remember to load whatever we had last shown!
Done. Map pages will now retain your 14er/13er settings made using the slide-out on the left. And the slide-out will automatically activate if you've selected peaks other than the defaults, which are named 14ers ON and all 13ers OFF.

Check it out on the map...

EDIT: And the map now retains your selected base layer (terrain, USFS, USGS, satellite...)
