I love the map on the My Collection page and being able to see the breadth of my collection, but often, I get frustrated trying to hone in on a small country to see the details. I would love to have a feature where each region or continent could be focused on, so say I want to look at my Africa collection, it would be useful to be able to view just a map of Africa and my collection for that region. Likewise for Europe or Asia. This would also let me more easily find holes or thin spots in my collection.

 

Depending on how ambitious you are you could get really granular down to the nation level,  showing regions of Germany for the notgeld fans or people who collect Filipino notgeld or Mexican local currency. 

 

Cheers!

For the time being you can click on maximize and change the l= parameter too what ever you want. HERE is on with 4000 pixels (but it seems the map is not a vector one).

Ooh, that's a neat trick. Maybe I should dust off my JS and learn the Numista API and do it myself =P I've done similar work with SVGs for other personal projects so I bet it's possible. One thing I want from a feature like this is a local heat map, so when I look at Africa it's not all blue and green due to the bulk of my collection being from the Americas, but instead the country from which I have the most will be the new “red." 

I guess I have some reading to do tonight!

I agree totally, especially as I come from a small country like New Zealand and collect a lot of Pacific nations currency, which are practically invisible on the map, which again has an Amerocentric/Eurocentric feel.

I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

Better like this 😉

Just call me Bram

No new swaps for the moment, still too many half-ongoing swaps to clean up!

That's a neat idea as well! Being able to center the globe on various points along the equator would make the My Collections page much more personal. 

Hello,
The suggestion for a map by continent is already tracked here: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic123731.html
Let's continue the discussion over there.
