I'm not saying that the poi finder takes more bandwith.. But if the eq2map team integrates this approach with seperate xml files for both the list and the poi display then it would effectively double the bandwidth for updating pois because it would have to download two files.. Also the way I stored the data downloaded has shrunk a tiny bit (like 5%)..

Now, if you can make the whole map slide to the left when opening a right-hand-side list, or if the list can be put on the left-hand side of the map and have the window expand so the map stays the same size as the list opens, either of those would be perfect. But I'd expect either would be non-trivial to arrange.

The map shouldn't shrink when opening the list... Just so you know, If you are looking at this thing in in game now (after ROK), it's not going to work as intended.. However both those options you mentioned are totally feasible.. Not trivial but not too tough either.. (especially with the way they allow us to access location and height and width now)

Heh, ever see the show Beyond 2000? It seems that none of those neat gadgets are available even though we're almost a decade into the 21st.
