Yes, another map browser 
But imho one with its own usefulness..es.
Key features :
-Drag and zoom the map (realtime, hence map browser),
-Search for town / player / alliance names,
-Click an island to see its towns and those on surrounding islands,
-Hover over a town to see its information,
-Hover for more than a second to see a points history graph,
-Click the town to pin the town info,
-Browse through the history of towns (up to 28 days) using the slider or pgup/pgdn.

BIG NOTE : I wanted to experiment with (very) modern browser features. As a result, this site will currently only work on FireFox, Chrome and (the latest version of) Safari. This is not a kick in the nuts of users of other browsers. It's just the current situation. Other browsers will catch up soon enough.
Small Note 1 : performance of the site may in the beginning be a bit slow, because almost noone is using it atm. and that causes the caches not to be populated. When some more people start using the map, everything will become quicker due to proper caching.
EDIT - actually since i wrote this post, some improvements have been made and imo performance is pretty good now, always. So ignore this one ...
Small Note 2 : the data for the worlds is updated every 3 hours.
Small Note 3 : be careful with requesting loads of towns (e.g. more than 2000). The site will manage, but it'll just become pretty slow, depending on the amount of towns and your computer's computing power.
Final Notes : I will not add worlds for other languages. Sorry. I can add new worlds for EN or NL though, as they become available.
It's also very likely that I'll not add any more features. This was a fun project, but I have to move on to other things now. If you find a showstopper bug though, do let me know and I'll look into it.
I find the browser very useful to scout my own part of the world I'm on. It gives you a good impression of who is around you and what everyone's up to. The points graph and history feature also shows you how active someone has been lately (unless a town has been fully expanded for a while). This all helps greatly with finding your next target as well.
The browser also saves you from having to individually look up players at grepostats, because the main information about each town is right there when you hover over one.
Ok, enough text I think. I hope the map will be useful to people other than myself
PS, the disclaimer text at the bottom of the site is just about the same as used on grepostats, so I assume that's ok. If not, will a mod please let me know what should be updated for the site to be acceptable.
