Relay Search has had a map view since 2017(?):

https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#map/flag:exit

Maybe we need to make it easier to find, or talk about it on the blog.

Here's how it's different to the one you linked:
* it shows consensus weight by default, not number of relays
* it can also track position weights and advertised bandwidths
* it can show a map of any relay search query
* it's an equal-area projection, which is better for statistics
* it's purple :-)
