Why are there two maps?
We started with one and ran into limitations with Google Maps. You can add a large number of map markers, but after a while they display on multiple pages making it hard for users to view (particularly on mobile phones). Besides it was very cluttered.
What does the green on the Hoboken Power Map mean?
When we have strong reports of an entire block with power we will draw a green line. Individual reports of power are shown with a green marker.
Why aren't restaurants shown on the maps?
We love that so many Hoboken restaurants have stayed open and are helping our community. Unfortunately the large number of open restaurants was cluttering the map. Hobokenmenus.com has a great list of Hoboken restaurants open during Sandy recovery.
Can I link my website to your maps?
Yes, please help us spread the word. Here are the URLs:
