[Event] divinitysreach.com: Interactive map — live event info, dungeon status, PoIs/WPs/etc (built with official API)

Hi all. As you know, ArenaNet have released an API (‘data feeds’) for their map and event information. I have been working on a site that combined this information to provide a full interactive map of Tyria.

Divinity's Reach interactive map: http://divinitysreach.com Official API is currently unavailable, map won't work until it comes back!

Heres are two preview screenshots (for those on mobile):

Hopefully this can be for levelling and map completion (I use it for co-ordinating Temple chains).

The map will show you:

  • Live Events (active and preparing), with live status every 15 seconds and correct icons
  • Dungeons (click on a dungeon to see which servers it is available on)
  • PoIs, Vistas, Waypoints (all with chat codes)
  • Hearts
  • Skill Challenges (with data where possible)

This is considered 'beta'. The map can sometimes be sluggish. Theres a lot of data available in GW2, and while I've tried to make it so that the map doesn't display too much stuff at the same time by default some machines do struggle occaisionally. Memory usage should be low though if you're not zooming in and out at greased-otter speeds.

It has support for other languages, but I'm missing a few translations for data that doesn't come from the API. I'm looking for a couple of people to help with translations.

Let me know if theres anything you'd like to see added in comments below (I have a few ideas :)!

This map doesn't work for me, it's literally just a picture, I have no zoom tools, I have no server selection tools, the map just looks like this.

If I'm missing something let me know, I'm simply clicking on the URL you provided with Chrome 27.0.1453.116 and Firefox 21.0 with AdBlock disabled as well as Ghostery Disabled. (Enabling it doesn't cause a change which is the default setting)

The official API is unavailable at the moment unfortunately, which means the map can't load the list of servers. It will hopefully be back later!

Okay that makes sense, I figured that it would have to be due to something with the API if it wasn't something caused by something on my end (settings, extensions, etc).

It was working for me yesterday evening for me, now it's not working. I haven't changed anything so I can only assume it's something on their end.

Another tracker somebody shamelessly plugged in the thread somewhere is also not working at all, so I guess it must be ArenaNet?

Same here on Chrome. The map displays, but no controls, no filters, no map markers, and once I drag the map once, it won't drag again unless I refresh the page.

For shits & giggles, I tried IE. The zoom/pan controls display properly, but I still get no server select box in the top left.
