Starting off with the new features you will notice at once that the new map window is much larger, which means less panning and zooming. In Edit mode nodes do not appear unless they are selected, making the mapping interface much less cluttered and easy to use. 
We have also improved the map search capabilities, which produce better more accurate results... give it a try and let us know what you think.
Website performance is considerably enhanced especially in terms of panning and zooming. Many data structure improvements were also implemented to improve editing performance, but we will let you be the judge of that.
We have enhanced the discussion forums facility and we’ll be adding topics as they arise. We hope this will encourage better more focused feedback to the benefit of all.
More help is at hand too in the form of data capture guides and screen casts to provide all users & editors with better guidance on the various functionalities. We will be adding to these over time, therefore any feedback or input will be gratefully received.
That’s it! On behalf of everybody in the People’s Map team...Enjoy!

Looks much better!
There are still some areas missing from the Getmapping imagery:

Hi George, the data is not missing as that specific tile has not loaded. If this happens again, refresh the map by selecting the "Redraw display" button on the Map Toolbar. This will instantly load all tiles.
Hope this helps.
tried to use the forum on the website but there seems no way to leave comments (might be why there aren't any!) However I was given the option to edit or delete one of Chlodwik (!!) posts which I doubt is right.
Concept of the site is great but there seems a long way to go before it works well enough to use?
Paul, you have to be logged in to post comments on the forum topics. If you can not reply when logged in, please contact support@peoplesmap.com.
The fact that you can delete a post and comments, is a bug and will be fixed ASAP. Thank you for letting us know.
I would disagree with you that the site is not yet ready for use. Registered users have been using the original site for over 18 months and the new site, only launched this week, is a massive improvement compared to the old.
We do appreciate all comments like these though, since the People's Map is developed to make mapping easy and accessible for all and this therefore helps us keep on improving the site and its functionalities.
