Wonderful work!

> We update the map every year, draw in new buildings, paint in new colors of houses etc.

It would be cool to have a time slider control to see how the city has changed over time. Similar to what Google Earth does for selecting aerial photos from different dates.

I'll take a shot at it... I only see a handful of people depicted and they're on the little boats. Are you one of them? Do these possibly represent each of the project collaborators?

Well, you wouldn´t see much difference. A large area of what´s depicted has a preservation status. But great idea, I´ll check the difference in a few years :)

And no, I get seasick, I´m sunbathing on a roof somewhere ;) We were all on the map, I´m noticing some got lost during last update, I´ll add them back in soon!

Maybe you can have an option to highlight the difference from previous year. Shouldn't be a lot of work, seeing as changes are infrequent.
I think I found you. Are you the white figure?
