The site is a combination of wikipedia.org where each entry has a location and date range.
The relaunch updates the design, and adds new features.
Summary of features:
* Each entry as it is displayed in the browser has a map in the top section that indicates the location for the entry. The date range is also indicated.
* Wiki mode: visitors can add a new entry and let others make changes later on.
* Non-wiki mode: visitors can start a new entry so that only they can make changes.
* Draw in the map: add lines to show routes, trails, or areas.
* Add labels to the map: indicate additional points of interest.
* Add photos for illustration
* Entries can be tagged, "folksonomy".
* Add links from one entry to the other, and markes will appear in both entries' maps.
* Search by location, date range, tags.
* Attractive blog-style format.
