Well, it's a "bright idea" I had . . .
If the map were on a single page unsplit, all of the details would be really small. If I broke it up across multiple files, you couldn't see the whole map at once. This way you can see the whole thing at once. My hope is that we'll also be able to modify the webpage code so all the POIs show up on both halves. I'm working with Dolby and Taco-man to make that happen.

It's supposed to be more intuitive for folks who have never been in the basement . . . Maybe it's not? Dunno.

It works great though!
(And saves a 128k download . . Yay!)

If I can get the webpage code going, I may do it on other maps. Unless everyone hates it. In which case I'll never do it again. *sniff*
