Removing the map
For me the map does not work, for multiple reasons.

First off, the entire image isn't presented as just one big image, it's presented in a whole bunch of tiles which are loaded when you get to them. While I would be okay with this if this map had some sort of information on it which wasn't accessible in the image, this doesn't seem to be the case. If this was a regular thumbnail, viewing the entire image would be just two/three mouse clicks away.

Second, the entire map has added content which can't be removed, such as the floating buttons and the pins. Finally, there seems to be no point with using a map for something like this. The map seems to clutter the image with a whole bunch of unnecessary and irremovable objects. People who click the image likely want to see and look around the entire image, though how maps presents it you can't look around the entire image without tiling and there's a lot of unnecessary clutter in the interface.

For something like this, I think a thumbnail that links to the full version would work better, as a map for something like this is just unnecessary as it clutters up the interface and makes it seem as though your being affected by severe lag. -- 01:10, October 18, 2014 (UTC)
