We've added online maps with satellite images to DiveSpots.com!  Now you can pinpoint dive spots on either a graphic chart or on a satellite image.  Additionally, you can chart an entire destination to see where all the dive spots are in one view.  Charts can be generated for individual dive spots, for an entire destination, and for dive trips that you plan online using DiveSpots.com.

Using the maps function is easy.  When you view a map, you'll have controls on the top left for zooming in and out, and for panning left and right, and up and down.  Additionally, you can simply click on the map and drag it in any direction you want to move.  To switch between Graphic and Satellite mode, simply click the buttons on the top right labeled "Map" and "Satellite".  Dive spots will be marked with a red marker as shown in the picture here.  You can click on any marker to view the details for that spot.

To view a map, simply click the "Get Map" button on the graphic of the GPS device that appears on the main page for each dive spot.  To see a map for an entire destination, go to that destination (e.g., Miami), select the "View All" tab, then select the "Show Map" link that appears on the top right.

Let us know what you think.  Ideas for improvements are always welcome!
