[MLB-WIRELESS] New RG stuff in the Wiki

[Dan Flett]

Those who know more about Locfinder's innards and the map data will be able 
to say what the contour interval is, I'm just playing with the interface.

With the RG maps in most cases I've decided to set the relevant "area_nodes" 
layer.  In RGCentral's case it shows all those nodes that have set their 
OPSF region to 1 (Central). Vak is in a different region so he doesn't 
display.  I've decided to not use the "area_links" layer as it doesn't show 
links in other regions - I've used the plain old "links" layer which shows 
all links.  I thought it'd be interesting for people to see what link 
activity is going on in other regions but not necessarily nodes from those 
regions.  If you want nodes from other regions to display, edit the wiki (or 
just the map URL in your address bar) and add "&layer=operational" and/or 
"&layer=testing" or whatever to the end of the map URL.  If you don't want 
RGCentral's "pissy" :) nodes to display, remove "&layer=area_nodes_1".  As 
far as I know there's no layer like "area_nodes_1_operational".

Does anyone know enough about java or cgi scripting to make a nice front end 
to LocFinder's map system so we can play with these options and layers a bit 
more?  I'm not sure if I know all the layer and map options that exist for 
it either.
