Description: Would be good to have VIEW RECORDS - all, and in viewable area, on these country page maps as on e.g. the species maps. People may well use these maps to zoom in to their local area to find out what data are available - already suggested earlier to Markus via email.

Comment: Sorry the 'all records' is already covered in a link on the country page maps, but the 'in viewable area' is still going to be a useful function.

We had discussed that during the design phase of the country pages, and at that time decided against it. The reason was that we thought it would be confusing to leave the country context and use the map as what amounts to a world-wide data browser - nothing enforces that you can only zoom in onto the country.

If we want to change that, should we rather consider such a link to go to a map-search in the occurrences search area (possibly with the pre-set viewable area you came from), which then clearly takes you out of the country focus if you decide to browse around more freely?

Comment: Revert: such functionality will be included with the new map version.

Country pages now in Drupal, so assigning to Burke.  The iframe broadcasts a search URL which can be subscribed from the container page using JS like this:
{code}
  
{code}

I'd recommend just adding a link beside each map that says "Show records viewable area" and then add the code above to set it's target.

This is documented in:
  https://github.com/gbif/tile-server/blob/master/src/main/webapp/map/map-events.js

That JS you can reference using http://api.gbif.org/v1/map/map-events.js

[~trobertson@gbif.org] it's a very useful JS widget!
