2025-10-20: Making the stop data load quicker introduced an intermittent bug where the map wouldn't zoom when you searched via a url. Now fixed
2025-10-19: If you search for an atco code or plate code, the popup for that stop now gets shown automatically
2025-10-18: Improved loading performance of stop data - the time taken to show stops on the map is now significantly shorter
2025-10-08: Issue with feed resolved, reverted to updating within an hour of GTFS changes (once a day) or NaPTAN changes (once a week)
2025-10-07: Temporary error in the GTFS feed resulting in route data being blank. The route data has been reverted to yesterday's version to continue to show route information at stops.
2025-06-14: Inactive stops now hidden by default. There is a toggle below the map to show them. If a stop doesn't have the active status, its status will be shown after the ATCO code in the popup.
2025-06-14: Potentially controversial change: all coordinates now show and copy to five decimal places in an effort to discourage unnecessary precision.
2025-06-14: Minor tweaks - you can now copy the coordinates from right clicking a blank bit of the map, hitting the s key will now highlight what's in the search box
2025-05-30: Reduced clustering of stops at higher zoom levels
2025-05-11: Copy buttons now present when you click/tap on a stop. Hitting 's' will highlight the search box.
2025-05-11: Fixed an intermittent issue where the smaller routes file would load after the larger stops file, and no routes would be shown against any stop
2025-05-11: Moved to a new server, loading should be quicker now.
2025-01-25: Total number of stops, and number of stops with routes associated, now displayed after last modified date
2025-01-25: Coordinates now given to five decimal places, not six
2025-01-25: You can now search by ATCO code and plate code as well as by coordinates
2024-10-06: Satellite imagery only loaded when you select the Satellite layer (saving my bills as I have to pay for them)
2024-09-28: You can now see what routes serve each stop
2024-09-28: Right click the map to show coordinates, or to open in Google Maps, Street View and Logainm
2024-09-28: New Satellite layer
2024-09-27: Added character counts for stop names
2024-09-27: Added translation links for English names to Logainm

2024-09-27: You can now link to specific coordinates, like https://projects.bibby.ie/maptan/index.html?coordinates=52.864,-8.198. Useful in a spreadsheet, if your latitude is in cell A2 and your longitude is in cell B2, =HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("https://projects.bibby.ie/maptan/index.html?coordinates=",A2,",",B2)), or if you have latitude and longitude separated by a comma in cell A2, =HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("https://projects.bibby.ie/maptan/index.html?coordinates=",A2))
2024-09-27: Added credits, revision log, abbreviations, increased max zoom level
