Woa, talk about back from the dead

In regards to deleting a section from the map: we have 'mothballed' our original planner (the one on the site currently) and have been working hard on a complete ground-up rewrite of the mapping stuff. This time we are using Google's javascript version of their maps, so it will be compatible with ipads and the like. So, in a week or so we'll have gotten the new stuff live on the site and you should be able to chop things up much better.

In regards to click/drag editing. We didn't "defeat" google maps, google maps actually doesn't come with a drag/drop editing feature. You have to write it by hand, and the one on the site right now isn't my finest work. We just finished implementing it in the new version of the planner which, like mentioned above, should go live in a week or so. It's much much more robust than the existing one.

All said and done, the new version of the planner solves many outstanding bugs, and is providing us with a much more solid base to move forward with. It's hard to build on top of the existing mapping stuff because it's like a treefort that grew into a mansion. I don't want to keep adding stuff on! Instead, we've re-architected an actual mansion this time

Sorry for the hassles!
