The map scale here is much to close. Is it possible to create a zoom map for these sort of things... It would also be great if these maps were printable. The link to the message box which will describe the entity is blocked by the map, so that when you click the blue star you only see half the message box.
Some sort of legend needs to be included on this site. What does a star with six points mean, what does a star with four points and two small cirles mean, what does a star with one big circle mean. I think that it will help if we could label what type of feature each of these identifies.
Since we want this to be as useful to as many different fields as possible I think that we may also want to include a chronology somewhere... when (generally) was the classical period, the hellen. period, the archaic period...etc.
We may also want to include what makes a "settlement" versus a "town" versus a "city" - perhaps a definitions page; or maybe this can all go under the title of "Legend". The BAtlas has this sort of thing doesn't it?
The redundant titles for links in the navigation bar need to be clarified. I think people will want to see titles that tell them clearly where they are going to go.
It exciting to see new stuff every day. That's all for now.
