Re: [las_users] LAS "mashup" using Google Maps API

Hi Todd,

Not sure how this message slipped through.  (Well, I'm lying -- LOTS of 
email messages slip through these days).  Anyway, sorry for the delay 
responding. :-[

What you have created is a very nice, easy-to-use and highly simplified 
UI.  There are definitely needs for highly simplified UIs.  Please keep 
us in the loop with this.  And stay tuned for the V7 (alpha) UI that 
will be coming out of our shop pretty soon.  There may be some 
map-rectangle tools that you can borrow from the V7 alpha to make yours 
even a little easier to use.
